,,of ,,the ,,united ,,states  ,april    
#ag1 #bjah ,mr4 ,manchin submitted the  
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,energy and       
,natural ,resources  ,,resolution       
,expressing the sense of the ,senate    
that electricity markets do not         
appropriately value the reliability and 
resilience attributes of baseload power 
generation serving the bulk power       
system4  ,whereas the power generation  
resource mix of the ,united ,states is  
rapidly changing1 presenting ongoing    
challenges to ensuring that baseload    
units remain operational and provide    
enhanced resilience and reliability to  
the power grid of the ,united ,states2  
,whereas many baseload units are not    
appropriately valued for the resilience 
and reliability attributes those units  
provide to the power grid of the ,united
 ,states2 ,whereas accelerated          
retirements of coal-fired and nuclear   

baseload power generation resources are 
among those challenges1 including how   
those resources are needed--  7#a7 to   
provide dependable capacity to serve    
customers2  7#b7 to support essential   
grid services1 such as voltage and      
frequency support and ramping           
capability2  7#c7 to offer high         
availability and reliability from       
significant on-site fuel storage2 and   
7#d7 to support integration of new      
generation resources2 and  ,whereas in  
,docket ,numbers ,,rm#ah-jjj-jja and    
,,ad#ah-g-jja1 and in other proceedings1
 the ,federal ,energy ,regulatory       
,commission has compiled extensive      
evidence documenting the reliability and
 resilience attributes of all power     
generation resources3 ,now1 therefore1  
be it  ,that it is the sense of the     
,senate that the ,federal ,energy       
,regulatory ,commission should take     
action to ensure that the electricity   
markets fully recognize the reliability 
and resilience benefits of coal-fired   

and nuclear baseload power generation   
resources serving the bulk power system4
