Requests EPA guidelines provide flexible compliance pathways that account for state and regional variations rather than mandating specific modifications to fuel and resource mixes in state generation portfolios.

Calls on EPA to credit states' existing greenhouse gas emissions reduction achievements and recognize all current state emissions reduction programs in its guidelines.

Directs EPA to avoid requiring infeasible greenhouse gas emissions reductions and to respect state utility regulators' jurisdiction over integrated resource planning and resource adequacy decisions.
