Summary
This New Jersey Assembly Resolution urges the U.S. Congress and President to increase federal funding for fusion energy research, particularly through the Department of Energy's Fusion Energy Sciences program. The resolution aims to support the development of fusion as a clean, sustainable energy source by advocating for increased financial backing for key facilities including New Jersey's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), the international ITER project in France, and private sector fusion ventures. As a non-binding resolution, it expresses the New Jersey Assembly's position on federal policy and directs that copies be sent to federal officials, but does not create any laws or mandate specific actions.
