NC S680

Applies to Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V to propose an amendment directing the federal government to open all federal onshore and offshore lands for energy exploration and production if geological surveys indicate economically recoverable hydrocarbon resources are present.

Cites that 83% of current U.S. energy comes from coal, oil, and natural gas, and the nation currently imports 51% of its liquid petroleum products, with significant untapped resources on federal lands and waters.

Notes that North Carolina's 60 million acres of federal offshore waters are currently closed to exploration despite estimated five trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas in specific lease blocks.

Includes automatic repeal and withdrawal of the application if the convention is called for any purpose other than considering this specific hydrocarbon amendment or other amendments the General Assembly separately applies for.

Directs the Secretary of State to notify congressional leadership and North Carolina's congressional delegation of the state's application.
