Abstract
In the United States, two clauses of the Constitution, the Supremacy Clause and the Commerce Clause, surround the way we utilize and exploit energy and sources of power. Professor Joel Eisen discussed the application of the Supremacy Clause to energy law at the Vermont Journal of Environmental Law Symposium. The Supremacy Clause constructs a “bright line” segregating which energy transactions are subject exclusively to federal jurisdiction and which are subject exclusively to state authority. This article brings us current on the other key article of the Constitution, the Commerce Clause, which limits state authority over energy.
