Sen. Joe Manchin
While being polite and cordial, as U.S. Senators typically are, Sen. Joe Manchin, from West Virginia, unloaded on the five commissioners of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) yesterday during a hearing before the committee he chairs, the Senate Energy Committee. Specifically, Manchin took FERC to task for overstepping its bounds with new regulations that use global warming as a consideration when approving new pipeline projects. Manchin told the FERC commissioners their actions contribute to a 'death by a thousand cuts' of the fossil fuels that are critical to American energy reliability, security and independence. Well said, Senator!
