 To improve the economy and security of the United States by reducing 
the dependence of the United States on foreign and unsustainable energy 
    sources and the risks of global warming, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Cleaner, Greener, and Smarter Act of 
2009''.

SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that Congress should enact, and the 
President should sign, legislation to improve the economy and the 
security of the United States by reducing the dependence of the United 
States on foreign and unsustainable energy sources and the risks of 
global warming by--
            (1) making and encouraging significant investments in green 
        job creation and clean energy across the economy;
            (2) diversifying and rapidly expanding the use of secure, 
        efficient, and environmentally-friendly energy supplies and 
        technologies;
            (3) transforming the infrastructure of the United States to 
        make the infrastructure sustainable and the United States more 
        competitive globally, including transmission grid modernization 
        and transportation sector electrification;
            (4) requiring reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases 
        in the United States and achieving reductions in emissions of 
        greenhouse gases abroad;
            (5) protecting consumers from volatile energy prices 
        through better market oversight and enhanced energy efficiency 
        standards and incentives; and
            (6) eliminating wasteful and unnecessary tax breaks and 
        giveaways that fail to move the United States toward a more 
        competitive and cleaner energy future.
