SEEC Endorses 21 Bills to Deliver Clean Energy and a Healthy Environment for America

Washington, D.C. – Today, the leaders of the House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC), including Co-Chairs Reps. Doris Matsui, Mike Quigley, and Paul Tonko and Vice Chairs Reps. Don Beyer, Suzanne Bonamici, Sean Casten, Mike Levin, and Chellie Pingree, endorsed 21 SEEC member-led bills to champion clean energy, a healthy environment, and thriving American communities. 

“Since our founding in 2009, SEEC has remained steadfast in our commitment to advancing solutions that address climate change, promote clean energy innovation and domestic manufacturing, and protect our nation’s air, water, and natural environment. We are now proud to count more than half of the House Democratic Caucus among our ranks as we collectively work towards a healthy, safe, and affordable life here in America. 

“This past year has demonstrated just how far the Trump Administration will go to gut our clean energy economy, sell out our public lands at bargain-basement prices, provide giveaways to Trump’s billionaire polluters, undermine science-based decision-making and American innovation, and turn the clock back on climate progress for a healthy and safe future for our children. The bills we are endorsing today reiterate that we must protect our nature and wildlife, invest in American science and clean energy innovation, hold polluters and corrupt corporations accountable, and safeguard our communities against rapidly worsening extreme weather fueled by the climate crisis. This is the future that the American people want and deserve.

“We look forward to working with our colleagues in Congress to deliver a healthy and affordable life for generations of Americans.”

Background

This Congress, our members have been developing solutions for the future, including the 38 bills we have already endorsed through our Task Forces that embrace America’s natural treasures, drive clean and affordable energy in our nation, improve the resilience of our food system, grow the workforce we need for a clean and secure energy future, build resilient housing, and invest in science and innovative technologies in the fight against the climate crisis. 

This includes our marquee Energy Bills Relief Act, which already has the support of more than 140 members of Congress.
