AI Summary

  • Urges Congress to postpone EPA regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from stationary sources (manufacturing facilities, power plants, hospitals, commercial establishments) under existing Clean Air Act authority.

  • Argues that regulating GHG emissions from stationary sources would burden manufacturing and the economy, impose onerous permitting requirements, and delay investments in energy-efficient technologies.

  • States EPA regulations would create approximately 6 million permitting requests that would overwhelm state agencies lacking capacity to handle the volume.

  • Asserts that only Congress can prevent the significant costs and burdens of these regulations and calls for a balanced approach to climate and energy issues without harming the economy.

  • Directs transmission of resolution to the President of the U.S. Senate, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Michigan's congressional delegation.
