The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senators Camilleri and others, urges the President and Congress to address 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, alongside a sharp rise in fertilizer costs impacting farmers during the planting season. 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 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 increased energy bills and urges Congress to pass a war powers resolution to end the conflict with Iran, which has contributed to rising fuel costs. It advocates for the reinstatement of renewable energy projects and programs that would provide affordable energy, as well as 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 and take action to mitigate surging energy costs. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key federal leaders and Michigan's congressional delegation.
