House Memorial 63, introduced by Representatives Tara L. Lujan, Joanne J. Ferrary, Cathrynn N. Brown, and Mark B. Murphy, requests the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department of New Mexico to study the feasibility of establishing a nuclear energy commission. This commission would focus on overseeing the development of a nuclear energy industry within the state, in light of the increasing energy demands projected to rise significantly by 2050. The memorial emphasizes New Mexico's potential to lead in renewable energy production and the importance of addressing climate change through innovative energy policies.

In addition to exploring the creation of a nuclear energy commission, the memorial outlines several specific areas for study. These include the feasibility of repurposing decommissioned coal and nuclear plant sites, assessing the safety of various reactor systems, implementing carbon capture sequestration policies at fossil fuel sites, exploring industrial uses for carbon dioxide, and enabling local governments to develop federated microgrids for improved energy efficiency and resilience. A copy of the memorial is to be sent to the secretary of energy, minerals, and natural resources.
