Development of an energy efficiency and conservation strategy Building energy audits and retrofits, including weatherization Financial incentive programs for energy efficiency Transportation programs to conserve energy and
support renewable fuel infrastructure Building code development, implementation, and inspections Installation of distributed energy technologies source reduction, recycling, and recycled content programs Reduction and capture of greenhouse gas emissions generated by landfills or similar
waste-related sources Installation of energy efficient traffic signals and street lighting Installation of renewable energy technologies on government buildings Any other appropriate activity that meets the purposes of the program and is

Constitution & Federalism Redux
Fed #51 “ a double security against majority tyranny”
Divide the power of government within the levels of government (sep of powers) but also across governments (between state and national governments)
Different governments will control each other against the oppression of governments
![Page 37: I Like Cake The History of Federalism in America.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf75503460f949c6df9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
General Trends
Primary constraints are political, not constitutional
Federal role is reduced, 16% of state and local governments budgets
Intense state experimentation Bipartisan belief in devolution
![Page 38: I Like Cake The History of Federalism in America.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf75503460f949c6df9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Devolution Theory
“enhance the responsiveness and efficiency of the federal system based on the theory that state and local governments can do a better job of providing services for citizens"
![Page 39: I Like Cake The History of Federalism in America.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf75503460f949c6df9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
How Much Devolution is there?
"if we exclude Social Security, Medicare, net interest on the federal debt, and defense from the total expenditures of federal, state, and local governments in the United States, 80 percent of what remains is administered by state and local governments" (1999, 3).
![Page 40: I Like Cake The History of Federalism in America.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf75503460f949c6df9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Constitution
Article 1, Section 8 – Congress shall do what is “necessary and
proper” to promote “interstate commerce”
10th Amendment – powers not delegated to federal government
are "reserved to the states or the people”

Why Federalism Matters
Determines who pays (welfare $148 v. $360)
Determines how much uniformity of policy there will be (death penalty)
Determines who makes the decisions (textbooks)
Determines accountability
![Page 43: I Like Cake The History of Federalism in America.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf75503460f949c6df9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Basic Tradeoff
a more centralized system is likely to be more uniform, equitable, and accountable
decentralized system is likely to be more democratic and flexible
