    The commerce clause doesn’t apply to in-state systems unless they interact with a foreign nation, native tribe, or another state.

    What kind of abuse is even possible here?

      I saw it brought up against states setting their own emission standards. I don’t agree with it but it is something I have seen them argue.

        Fair enough - but, emissions can be argued (with evidence) to be an interstate issue, particularly with large cities being contributors.
