Rumor: Dick Glick to Get Senate Renomination Hearing on Nov. 15

Rumors are circulating on Capitol Hill that the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee is eyeing Nov. 15 for Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Chairman Richard "Dick" Glick’s confirmation hearing for a second five-year term. We sincerely hope those rumors are wrong. Glick, a Democrat and former wind lobbyist who is an extreme anti-pipeline radical, was first appointed to FERC under Donald Trump. He was nominated by Joe Biden for reappointment to a second five-year term last May (see Joe Biden Renominates Dick Glick for Another FERC Term). Although he hasn’t met a pipeline project he likes, lately, Glick has changed his tune on pipelines in a bid to get reappointment to a second term (see Fearing He Won’t Get Reappointed, FERC’s Glick Approves Gas Pipes). If Glick doesn't get a hearing this year, Dec. 31 will be his last day at the commission.
