FERC’s Clements Tied to Big Green in Potential Ethics Violations
A blow-the-doors off expose by Kevin Mooney, an investigative reporter with both the Commonwealth Foundation and the Heritage Foundation, exposes serious undisclosed conflicts of interest and potential ethics violations for Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Commissioner Allison Clements. SERIOUS issues. From Day One, when Clements was nominated by the Democrats, we raised a big red flag. Clements is a leftist who worked for the fringe group NRDC for ten years as a lawyer, launching multiple lawsuits aimed at blocking fossil fuel companies from engaging in business (see Trump Nominates 2 New FERC Members – One an NRDC Lemon). It appears Clements' connection to the NRDC and other Big Green groups was never severed when she joined FERC.
