Recognizing that the retirement of nonintermittent electric generation facilities, before facilities with equal or greater reliability attributes are available, is a threat to the reliability of the United States electric grid.
This resolution recognizes the growing instability of the United States electric grid and highlights the significant threat to its reliability posed by the retirement of nonintermittent electric generation facilities . It emphasizes that this threat is particularly acute when these facilities are retired without being replaced by new ones possessing equal or greater reliability attributes. The resolution further asserts that energy cannot be considered sustainable unless it is both affordable and reliable for consumers. The resolution identifies specific factors contributing to this instability, stating that burdensome environmental regulations and market-distorting federal incentives are the primary forces driving the premature retirement of these essential nonintermittent generating facilities. These actions, it argues, lead directly to increased electricity prices and a reduction in the overall reliability of the electricity supply for households across the United States. To address these critical issues, the resolution expresses support for President Trump's efforts to unleash United States energy . It encourages the development of the nation's domestic energy resources, aiming to restore reliability and security to the electric grid and ensure a stable, affordable energy future.
