Cathy Castor (FL-14) and
John Barrow (GA-12)
are on the oversight committee for FERC
that had all the FERC Commissioners testify 5 December 2013:
the
Subcommittee on Energy and Power
of the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Shouldn’t they be interested in hearing about the Sabal Trail pipeline?
Each time someone files a comment with FERC, the filer could also
send it to that subcommittee or their member of it, or their own member of Congress or Senators.
Unlike
the other subcommittee that held a hearing pushing LNG exports,
the
Subcommittee on Energy and Power
has
the appropriate jurisdiction:
Jurisdiction:
National energy policy; fossil energy; renewable energy; nuclear
energy; nuclear facilities; the Department of Energy; the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission; the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission;
synthetic and alternative fuels; energy conservation; energy
information; utility issues; interstate energy compacts; energy
generation, marketing, reliability, transmission, siting,
exploration, production, efficiency, cybersecurity, and ratemaking
for all generated power; pipelines; the Clean Air Act and air
emissions; all laws, programs, and government activities affecting
energy matters, including all aspects of the above-referenced
jurisdiction related to the Department of Homeland Security.
Not only fossil energy, also renewable energy, such as solar and wind.
Not only utility issues, but also interstate energy compacts.
Not only pipelines, but also the Clean Air Act and air emissions.
Here’s the subcommittee
