Delaney Joins House Sustainable Energy & Environment Coalition

Statement

Congressman John K. Delaney (MD-6) has joined the House of Representatives Sustainable Energy & Environment Coalition (SEEC). The SEEC is dedicated to advancing policies that promote domestic development of clean energy technology, address climate change, and protect our nation's natural environment.

"Increasing sustainable energy production isn't just good for the environment, it's good for the economy," said Congressman John K. Delaney. "Alternative energy growth is a major competitiveness issue. Just as the development of a global petroleum industry in the 20th century reshaped our global economy, the nations that provide new energy solutions to adapt to the reality of climate change will thrive in the 21st century. With a skilled workforce and a growing green energy sector along the I-270 corridor, Maryland and the Sixth District are well-positioned to be part of our national alternative energy sector. I am proud to join the Sustainable Energy & Environment Coalition and look forward to making America an alternative energy leader."

Delaney joins 50 House colleagues in the SEEC, including Rep. Chris Van Hollen (MD-8), Rep. John Sarbanes (MD-3), and Rep. Donna Edwards (MD-4) from the Maryland Delegation. The SEEC is co-chaired by Rep. Steve Israel (NY-3), Rep. Gerald Connolly (VA-11), Rep. Paul Tonko (NY-20).
