| WHEREAS, President Donald J. Trump has declared that it is in | ||

| WHEREAS, Texas continues to lead the nation in economic | ||
| development and electricity load growth; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Natural gas and nuclear generation plants create | ||
| reliable and affordable electricity for Texas families and | ||
| businesses and provide nearly half of Texas' electricity generation | ||

| WHEREAS, The natural gas and nuclear generation plants | ||
| directly employed 12,242 people in the state in 2024; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The oil and gas industry in the state employed more | ||

| WHEREAS, Texas must preserve its existing nuclear and gas | ||

| WHEREAS, These goals are supported by Sections 45U, 45Y, and | ||
| 48E of the Internal Revenue Code, which provide federal tax support | ||
| for new and existing nuclear technologies; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||

| Representatives of the United States Congress, and to all the | ||
| members of the Texas delegation to Congress with the request that | ||
| this resolution be entered in the Congressional Record as a | ||
| memorial to the Congress of the United States of America. | ||
