The resolution designates December 6th as "Miner's Day" in North Dakota to honor the contributions of coal miners to the state's economy and energy security. It highlights the significance of the lignite coal industry, which generates over $5.5 billion in business activity, employs 12,000 individuals, and provides 55% of the state's electricity. The resolution emphasizes the importance of coal in maintaining low electricity rates, supporting economic growth, and ensuring energy independence, while also recognizing the potential for extracting rare earth elements from lignite coal deposits to diversify the economy and create high-value jobs.

Additionally, the resolution calls on the federal government to avoid regulations that threaten the reliability and affordability of electric power in North Dakota. It urges the repeal of the Endangerment Finding, which has imposed barriers to coal-based energy production, and advocates for a balanced regulatory framework that allows coal to compete fairly with other energy sources. The resolution also encourages collaboration between federal agencies and the state to advance technological innovations in coal and carbon capture, ensuring the continued operation of coal facilities while addressing environmental concerns.
