Evidence
Energy and Natural Resources: "We need to increase domestic oil and gas supply by exploring and utilizing more of the energy resources we have at home. We must also help keep our nation on the cutting edge by exploring alternative sources of energy and better ways to make use of them."
Roll Call 1134, on whether the House would consider the resolution for H.R. 6, described as reducing dependence on foreign oil by investing in clean, renewable, and alternative energy resources. Representative Jordan (OH) voted Nay.

Congress.gov member page shows Jordan's current congressional activity and recent 119th Congress votes, but the visible record does not identify any energy-policy enactment or completed alternative-energy deliverable tied to the promise.
Assessments
The promise was a broad federal policy commitment to help advance alternative energy exploration and use. The supplied record shows Jordan made the position statement, but it does not identify legislation he wrote, sponsored, materially advanced, or an executive action that produced a completed alternative-energy outcome. The clearest concrete vote cited cuts against fulfillment: in 2007 he voted against considering H.R. 6, an energy package described as investing in clean, renewable, and alternative energy resources. Because there is no demonstrated delivered outcome and no serious failed pro-delivery attempt tied to him, the promise is best scored as not delivered without an effort badge.
The promise was a broad commitment to support exploration and better use of alternative energy sources. The evidence does not identify any enacted law, successful amendment, funded program, or other concrete federal outcome attributable to Jordan that fulfilled this commitment. The strongest substantive action cited cuts against the promise: in 2007 he voted against considering an energy package described as investing in clean, renewable, and alternative energy resources. The general Congress.gov activity reference is insufficient to establish delivery. No serious failed pro-alternative-energy legislative or executive attempt is shown, so the effort badge is not warranted.
