Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Leads 17-State Coalition Fighting Federal Energy Power Grab

Texas Attorney General (AG) Ken Paxton is leading a coalition of 17 state attorneys general who sent a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), pushing back against the agencies proposed rule granting increased electrical grid oversight to itself.

In his press release, Paxton states that the proposed rule would compromise the ability of states to determine the most efficient mix of energy sources for their own electrical grids.

Paxton says the new rule will also force states to cover the costs of expensive regional transmission lines to support so-called “green” energy generation, even when such expenditures contradict a state or group of state’s needs and decrease grid efficiency and reliability.

The proposal will also grant FERC the authority to layout and approve expansions of the electrical grid, regardless of states’ needs, desires, and traditional authority to make such decisions on their own.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I have maintained for many years that on voting ballots there should be another choice, none of the above, to prevent collusion of the government against the people.  Since Republicans and democrats seem to work in such harmony on issues such as global warming, immigration, police protection, etc., voters should have an extra shot at getting rid of politicians who want to CREATE CRISES enabling Uncle Sam to take control of Americans. 22222frying pan

OMFG, the Biden Admin wants utility rate payers in Red States to subsidize windmills, solar panels, and battery storage in Blue States.

FERC won't be able to do that for free.  Would there be any additional FERC fees added to electric bills like the FCC adds to phone bills?

Before all you 10th Amendment / States' Rights types get your panties in a bunch ... remember a fee is not a tax ... because they are two different words that are spelled differently.

Yep, they are essentially using the Hunger Games Method of making and distributing energy. Red States make it, Woke Bi-Coastal states get it.
