HCR 3015

This concurrent resolution from the North Dakota Legislative Assembly urges the federal government to formally recognize natural gas and nuclear energy as environmentally sustainable economic activities, following the European Union's similar classification in July 2022. The resolution presents arguments about the economic importance and environmental benefits of both energy sources, citing their role in electricity generation, job creation, and carbon reduction. If passed, the resolution would be sent to the President and North Dakota's Congressional delegation as a formal expression of the state legislature's position, though as a concurrent resolution it carries no binding legal force and serves primarily as a policy statement encouraging federal action on energy classification.
