Summary
This joint resolution is a formal declaration by the Wisconsin State Legislature expressing support for nuclear power and fusion energy as critical clean energy sources for meeting the state's growing electricity demands. The resolution acknowledges nuclear energy's current contributions to Wisconsin (powering 1.2 million homes and providing 66.6% of the state's carbon-free electricity through the Point Beach Nuclear Plant) and commits the state to supporting the continuation, expansion, and development of nuclear power, fusion energy, and related technologies. While this resolution establishes the legislature's policy position and commitment to employing "leadership and resources" to support nuclear development, it does not create specific programs, allocate funding, or establish regulatory changes—it serves primarily as a statement of legislative intent and support for nuclear energy advancement in Wisconsin.
