The House Resolution urges the Louisiana Public Service Commission to investigate and implement measures to strengthen the state's electrical grid against electromagnetic threats, including those posed by solar weather, high-altitude electromagnetic pulses (HEMP), and intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) attacks. Recognizing Louisiana's strategic importance to national security, the resolution highlights the vulnerability of the state's electric grid, which supports critical military and energy installations. It emphasizes the potential catastrophic consequences of a major solar storm or EMP attack, which could lead to significant economic losses and jeopardize the safety and security of both Louisiana and the United States.

The resolution calls for immediate action to explore technological solutions, policy mandates, and cost recovery mechanisms to enhance the resilience of the electric grid. It affirms the necessity of protecting this critical infrastructure and acknowledges that substantial investments from both state and federal governments are required. The resolution invites collaboration from various stakeholders, including state officials and federal agencies, to ensure the security of Louisiana's electric grid and, by extension, the safety of millions of lives. A copy of the resolution will be sent to relevant authorities to emphasize the urgency of this initiative.
