Abstract
In most states you have a statewide commission that regulates oil and gas, so they have the advantage of having uniform regulations … that renewables don’t have. And renewables have had to buck up against this. So I tend to fall on the side of statewide siting. … [Local governments] don’t often have the expertise … to decide what is an appropriate siting.
