Urges Congress to adopt legislation postponing EPA regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from stationary sources under Clean Air Act authority until Congress adopts a balanced climate and energy approach.

Contends that EPA's plan to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from new cars and light trucks will trigger regulation of stationary sources like manufacturing facilities, power plants, hospitals, and commercial establishments.

Argues that regulating greenhouse gas emissions from stationary sources would burden manufacturing and the economy, significantly delay investments in energy-efficient technologies, and potentially cause additional job losses.

States that state agencies lack capacity to handle an estimated six million permitting requests that would result from such regulations.

Directs Minnesota's Secretary of State to transmit copies of this resolution to the President, U.S. Senate and House leadership, relevant Congressional committees, and Minnesota's Congressional delegation.
