Abstract
This article first examines legal issues surrounding California’s decision to enact by regulation and provide a feed-in tariff for certain renewable power less than a decade after the economic collapse of California’s new system of electric sector regulation in 2001. Second, the article also examines legal issues surrounding the ethanol/liquid fuels program implemented as part of California climate change regulation. These two seminal administrative law cases construe the flexibility and limits of state regulation of in-state electricity transactions and out-of-state liquid fuels destined to be sold in the state. Both of these significant California administrative law programs were challenged legally, as violations of both state administrative law and violations of the federal Constitution. This article examines these and other state administrative law legal issues and challenges.
