Bill Summary
Recognizing the contributions of Washington's joint operating agencies.
AI Summary
This resolution, adopted by the Washington State House of Representatives, recognizes the significant contributions of Washington's joint operating agencies, which are entities formed by cities and public utility districts since 1957 to develop new electric power plants. These agencies are highlighted for their pioneering work in developing renewable and carbon-free energy sources like solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and nuclear power, including the development of one of the nation's first small modular reactor facilities. The resolution emphasizes that these efforts are crucial for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, ensuring affordable and reliable energy for consumers and businesses, and fostering economic growth and job creation within Washington State, building upon a long history of public power in the state dating back to the early 1900s.
