Senators Warren and Crapo previously introduced an amendment calling for the DOE to conduct this study during the Senate\u2019s consideration of S. 1392, the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act. \u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u201cGrowing numbers of manufacturers and building owners realize that when they invest in operational energy efficiency tools, they can do something good not only for the environment but also for the bottom line,\u201d the senators\u00a0wrote\u00a0in the letter. \u201cOperational energy efficiency tools help protect the environment, save companies\u2019 and taxpayer money and create new jobs.\u201d\n\u00a0\nThe\u00a0senators urged the DOE to begin this study while S. 1392 awaits further action in the Senate.\n\u00a0\nThe senators noted\u00a0that a DOE study could \u201csignificantly advance the adoption of operational energy efficiency tools, and give industry the analysis it needs to embrace these technologies and services that reduce energy costs and benefit the environment.\u201d\n\u00a0\nFull text of the lawmakers\u2019 letter to DOE is available\u00a0here.\n\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.warren.senate.gov?p=press_release&id=303"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8215468842536211, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
