Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has nominated the wrong person to replace Andrew Place as one of the commissioners on the very powerful Public Utility Commission (PUC). Wolf has nominated Hayley Book, currently a senior adviser on energy and climate to PA Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) Secretary Pat McDonnell. Book’s job at the DEP has been to try and force through Wolf’s illegal attempt to force the state into joining the so-called Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a carbon tax scheme cooked up by a collection of liberal northeastern states (see Gov. Wolf Goes Bonkers: EO Destroying Gas-Fired Elec, Carbon Tax).
