What Does This Mean For State Legislators?

Opportunity for state leadership as Trump Administration largely focused on other priorities Continued fight over FERC / state jurisdiction Potential Federal preemption of state policies

Perry stated that “national security” concerns about reliable baseload generation may justifying pre-empting state energy policies Called for grid reliability study, with particular focus on whether subsidies for renewables are undermining traditional baseload generation. Also issued two ”emergency orders” to keep coal units running
