 R E S O L U T I O N

   

        WHEREAS, The Energy Council is celebrating its 50th 

  

 anniversary in 2025, providing a fitting opportunity to recognize 

  

 the organization for its many achievements; and

  

        WHEREAS, Established as the Southwest Regional Energy 

  

 Council in 1975, the organization serves as a forum for state 

  

 legislators to collaborate on energy and environmental policy; the 

  

 organization's original five oil-producing member states are 

  

 Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico, and over the 

  

 years, it has expanded to include West Virginia, Mississippi, 

  

 Alabama, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, and Alaska, 

  

 as well as the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan; and

  

        WHEREAS, The Energy Council has played an instrumental role 

  

 in shaping state and federal policies related to oil and gas and to 

  

 other energy sources such as coal, wind, solar, batteries, 

  

 hydrogen, nuclear, and geothermal, as well as to emerging 

  

 technologies such as carbon capture and artificial intelligence, 

  

 all of which provide the basis for strong, reliable grids and a 

  

 thriving energy sector; today, the organization benefits from the 

  

 able leadership of its chair, Texas State Representative Drew 

  

 Darby; and

  

        WHEREAS, For five decades, The Energy Council has supported 

  

 sustainable energy practices and economic growth in 

  

 energy-producing states, and it is a pleasure to join in honoring 

  

 the organization on this special occasion; now, therefore, be it

  

        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas 

  

 Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of The Energy 

  

 Council and extend to all those affiliated with the organization 

  

 sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further

  

        RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 

  

 prepared for The Energy Council as an expression of high regard by 

   

 the Texas House of Representatives.
