Congress.gov lists H.R. 2454 as Passed House, with latest Senate action on July 7, 2009: read the second time and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar. The CRS summary says it concerned clean energy, energy efficiency, transitioning to a clean energy economy, a renewable electricity standard, Energy Innovation Hubs, clean energy manufacturing, and Green Jobs and Worker Transition provisions.

The bill advanced in the House and contained substantial clean-energy and green-jobs provisions, but it stalled in the Senate, making it evidence of effort rather than full delivery.
