The Commerce Clause is one often cited by conservatives. I am not a lawyer but if they can abuse it you bet they will even if that's not what it was meant for.
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.
