Where in the constitution does it give the government the power to run the Federal Aviation Administration? All these rules regulating the flights of aircraft, the certification of pilots, and the safety of aircraft are obviously unconstitutional by your argument, yes?
Also, power is already heavily regulated. Or perhaps you think that nuclear power plants should be built by anyone with the money and desire to build them?
Actually, this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the constitution. The 10th amendment says:

I think state-run power systems would be just fine.
