This New Jersey Assembly Resolution urges the U.S. Congress and President to increase federal funding for fusion energy research, particularly to support the Department of Energy's Fusion Energy Sciences program, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) in New Jersey, and the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project in France. The resolution is non-binding and serves to formally communicate New Jersey's legislative position that fusion energy represents a promising clean energy technology worthy of increased federal investment. If passed, copies of the resolution would be sent to the President, congressional leadership, and New Jersey's federal delegation to advocate for higher appropriations for fusion research programs, citing the technology's potential environmental benefits and New Jersey's leadership role in the field through PPPL.
