"FERC siting preemption over state determinations is the precedent that gets abused later. The energy case is real; the precedent on federalism is the cost. We accepted federal preemption on natural gas pipelines in the 1930s and lived to regret it."

"FERC preemption is going to put transmission lines through Oklahoma without any state-level review. My land, my problem, but the bill makes my state's voice on this irrelevant. Vote no."
