Rep Casten’s “Hot FERC summer”
Fighting climate change is not just about ending fossil fuels: a low-emissions future will also require higher use of electricity obtained from clean sources. But if the US is counting on electricity to take over for oil in transportation and heating, it is going to need a strong and ambitious Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to deploy more clean energy. Today, POLITICO’s Anthony Adragna talks to a lawmaker seeking to raise awareness about one of the most important agencies for climate policy that most have not heard about. Anthony Adragna is an energy reporter and author of Morning Energy. Raghu Manavalan is an editor for POLITICO Audio. Carlos Prieto is a POLITICO podcast producer. Jenny Ament is the senior producer of POLITICO’s audio department. Irene Noguchi is the executive producer of POLITICO’s audio department.
