Under acting chair Willie Phillips, FERC could move to consider the
climate and environmental justice impacts of projects the agency
approves, including fossil fuel infrastructure. But that’s a direction
Senator Joe Manchin doesn’t like, which is a major reason why former
FERC chair Richard Glick didn’t get a re-confirmation hearing last year.
POLITICO’s Catherine Morehouse breaks down FERC’s direction under
Phillips and Manchin’s looming influence. Plus, the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission has officially approved the first advanced small nuclear
reactor design in the United States.
