|
|
recognize the Energy Council on the occasion of the |
|
|
organization's 50th anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Reliable and consistent energy is fundamental to |

|
economic stability and global security, and the steady supply of |
|
|
oil and gas is essential to sustain current consumer demands and |
|
|
to ensure energy independence; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Energy Council was established in 1975 as a |
|
|
nonpartisan forum for legislators in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, |
|
|
Oklahoma, and New Mexico to learn and collaborate on energy |
|
|
policy and issues relevant to their constituents; the council has |
|
|
expanded to include 14 member states and the Canadian Provinces |
|
|
of Alberta and Saskatchewan that actively participate in the |
|
|
development of state and federal energy and environmental |
|
|
policy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Energy Council helps to inform lawmakers |
|
|
about economic markets and emerging technology and practices |
|
|
relating to an evolving energy landscape; its members utilize |
|
|
their knowledge of global trends and policies to formulate |
|
|
effective policy and to foster a comprehensive understanding of |
|
|
energy and the environment; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For half a century, the Energy Council has |
|
|
remained at the forefront of discourse on energy generation and |
|
|
policy that shape Americans' daily lives, and its members are |
|
|
truly deserving of recognition for upholding its commitment to |
|
|
informed energy policy leadership; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend all associated with the Energy |
|
|
Council and extend to them congratulations on the organization's |
|

|
