AI Summary

  • Encourages U.S. Congress to postpone EPA's regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from stationary sources such as manufacturing facilities, power plants, hospitals, and commercial establishments under existing Clean Air Act authority.

  • Argues that EPA's planned GHG regulations for new cars and light trucks would automatically trigger regulation of stationary sources, imposing onerous permitting requirements that could delay or eliminate investments in energy-efficient technologies.

  • Claims state agencies would be overwhelmed by an estimated 6 million anticipated permitting requests and that the regulations would result in significant job losses and economic harm during a period of economic recovery.

  • Requests that Congress adopt a balanced approach to address climate and energy supply issues that protects American jobs, ensures affordable energy, and maintains global competitiveness without harming the economy.

  • Directs delivery of this resolution to members of the Illinois congressional delegation.
