FERC Report Card

Stephen D. Haner

The new chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission used the Trump Administration’s order to have agency employees report their activities as a chance to show off. Late last week he issued a four-page letter of accomplishments on behalf of his staff, a list that might be a good month, not a good week, at some other agency.

The Chairman of FERC now, of course, is Virginia’s own Mark Christie, previously a member and sometimes chairman of our State Corporation Commission.  The letter should also reassure those Americans who are hoping to see the new administration take a new direction in energy policy, accepting of hydrocarbons and focused on energy reliability.

Whether Christie answering on behalf of all his employees and fellow commissioners satisfies the request from the Department of Government Efficiency, time will tell. The substance of the report with its focus on natural gas projects likely would have infuriated many in the previous Biden Administration.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. 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
