STATE RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARDS: THEIR CONTINUED VALIDITY AND RELEVANCE IN LIGHT OF THE DORMANT COMMERCE CLAUSE, THE SUPREMACY CLAUSE, AND POSSIBLE FEDERAL LEGISLATION.

- Abstract
The article examines the constitutional and practical issues raised by state renewable portfolio standard (RPS) programs, which have become increasingly popular among U.S. states. It describes RPSs and the energy eligibility restrictions that states are often motivated to include with them in order to reduce the leakage of economic benefits from the programs to other states. It discusses current Supreme Court dormant Commerce Clause doctrine, under which statues and regulations subject either to strict scrutiny. It analyzes the validity of state RPS programs and their energy eligibility restrictions under the dormant Commerce Clause.
