Detailing the regulatory and jurisdictional overlap between federal regulation and state regulation. Serious constitutional questions and economic development themes abound in the field of energy regulatory law. It's very complicated and ripe for a Quimbee course.

Good place to start would be with tracing the expansion of FERC authority into the current mess/mix of shared jurisdictional authority between Federal and State level regulators.
