AR 104 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges Congress and President to increase funding for fusion energy research.

This New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 104) urges Congress and the President to increase federal funding for fusion energy research. It specifically calls for higher appropriations to the Department of Energy's Fusion Energy Sciences program to support the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) in New Jersey and the international ITER project in France. The resolution highlights fusion energy's potential as a sustainable, clean power source with no long-term radioactive waste, while noting PPPL's leadership and the economic benefits of public-private partnerships. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change funding levels but formally advocates for greater investment in this research area.
