The Senate Resolution urges the President and the United States Congress to take action against the rising energy costs attributed to the Trump Administration's policies. It highlights the significant increase in gas and diesel prices in Michigan, which have reached their highest levels since August 2024, and notes the impact on farmers due to soaring fertilizer prices. The resolution points out that ordinary Michiganders are also feeling the strain of a 13 percent hike in energy costs since the beginning of the second Trump Administration, exacerbated by the continued operation of the J.H. Campbell coal plant, which incurs substantial costs to ratepayers.

The resolution calls for the President to acknowledge the decisions leading to these higher energy bills and urges Congress to pass a war powers resolution to end the conflict with Iran, which has contributed to fuel price spikes. It also advocates for the reinstatement of renewable energy projects and the closure of inefficient coal plants that are driving up costs and harming the environment. The resolution emphasizes the need for leaders in Washington to prioritize the American people's needs by addressing surging energy costs and restoring effective renewable energy programs. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key congressional leaders and the Michigan congressional delegation.
