Clean Energy Deployment
This task force will focus on studying and addressing impediments to the full deployment of cleaner, cheaper energy technology, especially in a time of increasing energy demand; protecting and building on the progress we have made thus far; and exploring potential grid modernization and clean energy reform policies. The goal will be to ensure cleaner, cheaper energy continues to be a key part of US energy independence.

House Democrats in the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition are putting forward their own permitting proposal that would boost FERC’s siting authority while tightening environmental reviews in disadvantaged communities.
House Democrats on Thursday released their permitting reform proposal after House Republicans advanced an energy bill that included measures aimed at streamlining the approval process for projects.
In 2018, a Democratic adviser on energy issues introduced two of the only Democratic House candidates on the campaign trail who were running on climate action.
