Urges Congress and President to increase funding for fusion energy research.
Assembly Resolution 88 is a non-binding resolution passed by the New Jersey Assembly urging Congress and the President to increase federal funding for fusion energy research. It specifically calls for greater support of the Department of Energy's Fusion Energy Sciences program, highlighting fusion's potential as a clean, sustainable energy source that produces no long-term radioactive waste. The resolution emphasizes New Jersey's role in this field through the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and references the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project in France. It does not create new laws but formally requests federal action, with copies sent to the President, Congressional leaders, and New Jersey's representatives.
