H.Res. 290 — Recognizing that the retirement of nonintermittent electric generation facilities, before facilities with equal or greater reliability attributes are available, is a threat to the reliability of the United States electric grid.

This section expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States electric grid faces instability and reliability threats from the retirement of nonintermittent electric generation facilities without equivalent replacements, that energy is sustainable only if affordable and reliable, that burdensome environmental regulations and market-distorting Federal incentives drive premature retirements that raise household electricity prices and reduce supply reliability, and that supports expanded development of United States energy resources.
