Support S. 401 & H.R. 924 Incentivizing Offshore Wind Power Act, 30% ITC for the first 3,000 megawatts of offshore wind service, incentivizing development and rewarding the first movers in the industry. Support S. 329, Sustainable Energy Act to eliminate certain fuel subsidies and to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend certain energy tax incentives.Oppose all efforts to approve the construction, operation, and maintenance of the dangerous Keystone XL pipeline. Support the Obama administration's Climate Action Plan making climate change a top priority through EPA setting standards reducing carbon pollution from new and existing power plants. Support for the Department of the Interior to continue promoting offshore wind energy. Oppose H.J. Res. 64 and S.J. Res 30, resolutions of disapproval on the EPAs proposed standards limiting carbon pollution from future power plants. Oppose H.R. 3826/S.1905, the Electricity Security and Affordability Act, that blocks all EPA actions to reduce carbon pollution from power plants. Oppose H.R. 3301, the North American Energy Infrastructure Act, a dangerous bill that would gut the review process for approving cross-border pipeline applications. Oppose H.R. 4923, the FY15 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill, which moves us backward on energy and environmental policy by slashing funding for renewable energy and energy efficiency while boosting funding for polluting, mature fossil fuel and nuclear generation technologies. Support H.R. 3473, the floor vehicle for the Expiring Provisions Improvement Reform and Efficiency (EXPIRE) Act, which extended key expired tax incentives, including the Production Tax Credit that is essential to the continued growth of clean energy. Oppose S. 2414, H.R. 4808, H.R. 4813, H.R. 4850 legislation that would undermine the EPAs ability to limit carbon pollution from power plants, the nations largest source of the pollution driving climate change. Oppose an amendment offered by Representative James Lankford (R-OK) to H.R. 4923, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015, which would force federal agencies to turn a blind eye to the economic costs of climate change. Oppose an amendment by Representative David McKinley (R-WV) to H.R. 4923, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015, which would prevent federal agencies from assessing the costs and dangers posed by climate change. Oppose an amendment by Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ) to H.R. 4923, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015, which would block all funding for the Department of Energys (DOE) Climate Model Development and Validation program.Oppose H.R. 4, the so-called Jobs for America Act a radical package of bills that threatens vital health and environmental safeguards and our public lands. Oppose H.R. 2, the so-called American Energy Solutions for Lower Costs and More American Jobs Act, a package of more than a dozen bills all of which the House has already voted on. This legislation amounts to a huge giveaway to big polluters and threatens the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the landscapes that support our outdoor economy; thwarts progress on climate change; and compromises communities ability to have a say in projects in their backyards. Encourage Secretary Jewell and the Department of the Interior not to include lease sales in the Chukchi Sea, Beaufort Sea or Bristol Bay planning areas in the 2017-2022 five year oil and gas program for the nation. Encourage the Administration to develop smart and reasonable methane standards for the oil and gas industry through EPA and Interior rulemakings. These actions will protect public health and help reduce a potent greenhouse gas, consistent with the goals of the Climate Action Plan. Support for H.R. 5559, the Bridge to a Clean Energy Future Act of 2014, legislation extending critical incentives for clean energy and energy efficiency.

Oppose efforts to weaken S. 2262, Energy Savings & Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2013, to promote energy savings in residential and commercial buildings and industry.Support S. 329, Sustainable Energy Act to eliminate certain fuel subsidies and to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend certain energy tax incentives. Oppose all efforts to approve the construction, operation, and maintenance of the dangerous Keystone XL pipeline. Support the Obama administration's Climate Action Plan making climate change a top priority through EPA setting standards reducing carbon pollution from new and existing power plants.

Res 30, resolutions of disapproval on the EPAs proposed standards limiting carbon pollution from future power plants.
