A resolution recognizing the ability of solar, storage, and wind to quickly and cheaply meet United States power demand growth.

Sponsored By: Senator Whitehouse, Sheldon [D-RI]

Introduced

Summary

Expanding solar, storage, and wind energy is the resolution’s main goal. This measure would recognize that U.S. power demand is growing faster than in two decades and would urge action to speed up renewable energy production to meet that demand.

Show full summary
  • Seeks to avoid higher electricity bills — the resolution notes that forcing large fossil plants to stay online could raise ratepayer costs by over $3,000,000,000 per year.
  • Aims to reduce the risk of power shortages — it finds that nearly every region could face capacity shortfalls over the next ten years.
  • Pushes faster deployment of low‑cost generation — as of 2025, solar and wind are the most cost‑effective new power sources, storage costs are falling, and renewables made up the vast majority of new and pending capacity.
