Summary
This concurrent resolution directs the North Dakota Legislative Management to consider conducting a study on sustainable energy policies, with a particular focus on advanced nuclear energy development in the state. The study would examine ways to maximize the economic viability of existing energy sources, assess future electricity demand projections through 2050 (particularly from electric vehicles and carbon-free infrastructure), and evaluate the feasibility, safety, regulations, and economic impacts of developing advanced nuclear reactors and transmission infrastructure. If undertaken, the study's findings and any recommended legislation would be reported to the Sixty-ninth Legislative Assembly, potentially laying the groundwork for North Dakota to develop nuclear energy capabilities while maintaining grid reliability and supporting the state's energy economy.
