Whereas the United States of America relies upon a robust energy industry to

Whereas access to safe, secure, reliable, and low-cost energy is fundamental to 
        American prosperity, national security, and the health and well-being of 
        all Americans;
Whereas the energy industry encompasses a wide array of career paths, from 
        traditional fossil-fuel production and renewable-energy generation to 
        cutting-edge research, engineering, and technology development;
Whereas the dedicated and skilled workforce of millions of men and women across 
        the Nation is the backbone of energy independence, ensuring the 
        continuous and efficient delivery of energy to our communities;
Whereas these workforce professionals exhibit unwavering commitment, technical 
        expertise, and a deep sense of responsibility in maintaining and 
        advancing the energy industry;
Whereas the energy workforce will need tens of millions of replacement and new 
        workers over the next decade;
Whereas it is essential to raise awareness about the rewarding and vastly 
        growing career opportunities available in the energy sector, 
        particularly among students and young professionals;
Whereas highlighting the importance of energy education and training will help 
        to cultivate a pipeline of skilled workers to meet the evolving needs of 
        the Nation's energy future; and
Whereas recognizing the contributions of the energy workforce will foster a 
        greater appreciation for the vital role it plays in powering the
