         A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION,  Supporting the development of nuclear power in South Dakota.

     WHEREAS,  nuclear power has proved to be a reliable and low-cost source of energy; and

     WHEREAS,  use of nuclear power will decrease our dependence on foreign oil. Nuclear energy in the United States has displaced more than 4.6 billion barrels of oil and saved more than $145 billion in oil payments since the 1973 Arab oil embargo; and

     WHEREAS,  nuclear power promotes economic development through the creation of jobs and tax revenues and the availability of a stable and reliable source of energy; and

     WHEREAS,  it is imperative that United States research and academic institutions continue to pursue and develop state-of-the-art nuclear technology and that the United States not allow itself to be overtaken by other nations in the development of this crucial energy resource; and

     WHEREAS,  nuclear power has proven to be a safe energy alternative. No fatalities have ever been recorded at any nuclear power facility in the United States; and

     WHEREAS,  nuclear energy is the second largest source of electricity in the United States, providing twenty percent of our electricity supply safely and reliably and without damage to the environment:

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,  by the House of Representatives of the Eighty- first Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the Senate concurring therein, that the South Dakota Legislature supports the development of nuclear energy production facilities within the State of South Dakota.

However, the proceeds from any tax or tax increase enacted on or after July 1, 2007 shall be excluded from this calculation, and those revenues may be appropriated through the general appropriations act even if they are in excess of the allowable increase.
