Recognizing Renewables as Cheapest Power Source to Lower Electricity Prices.

This Senate Resolution formally recognizes that renewable energy facilities (wind, solar) are the cheapest power generators to operate. The document highlights that relying on more expensive fossil fuel facilities (coal, gas) to meet growing energy demand drives up wholesale electricity prices. This suggests that increasing renewable energy use could help stabilize or lower future electricity bills for consumers.
Key points
Renewable energy sources (wind, solar) have near-zero operating costs, making them the cheapest way to generate electricity.
Meeting rising power demand using fossil fuel plants (coal, gas) increases wholesale electricity prices.
The resolution aims to acknowledge the link between the energy mix and daily living costs.
