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. 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 H.R. 5771, the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, which only extends clean energy tax credits through the end of 2014 and supported a multi-year extension of tax credits to support economic development, create jobs, and reduce dangerous pollution. 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. 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. Support for H.R. 5796, States Choice Act that would make clear that a state carbon tax is a compliance option for states under the EPAs Clean Power Plan, which sets the first national limits on carbon pollution from power plants. Oppose S.2280 & H.R. 5682, a bill to automatically approve the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, which would transfer the worlds dirtiest oil through the American heartland to be exported at an international shipping port on the Gulf Coast.
