This House resolution says that retiring steady electric generation facilities before replacements with equal or better reliability are available threatens the U.S. electric grid. It cites reliability assessments that project tighter reserve margins and rising electricity demand. The resolution also says environmental rules and federal incentives contribute to early retirements. It supports the President’s efforts to increase U.S. energy production. It does not propose specific requirements or funding.
If adopted, the resolution would state the House’s position on grid reliability and energy production. It does not set out direct requirements for individuals.
