A resolution recognizing the ability of solar, storage, and wind to quickly and cheaply meet United States power demand growth.
This is a symbolic Senate resolution (SRES 564), not a bill with enforceable policy changes. It recognizes that solar, wind, and battery storage are the most cost-effective new power sources in the U.S., noting they made up 93% of new capacity in 2024 and 95% of projects awaiting grid connection as of 2025. The resolution cites data showing renewables now produce more electricity than coal and that delaying renewable deployment could cost ratepayers over $3 billion annually. It does not create new laws, funding, or regulations - only expresses the Senate's view that accelerating renewable energy is essential to meet growing power demand.
