A transparent election-year attempt to appease green activistsDays ago, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources convened a hearing considering three of President Biden’s nominations to lead the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission — a key agency that is responsible for regulating energy projects. This is an unusual circumstance, given that it is rare for a president to offer three nominees for this agency simultaneously.
That’s why, just like the Supreme Court, it’s worth paying attention to the interpersonal dynamic between these nominees. The Biden administration likely carefully considered how these nominees will work together because this will have a major impact on the nation’s energy policy. Despite the region’s critical need for this energy source, she openly argued that low natural gas prices were a bad thing and pushed to end all investments in New England’s natural gas infrastructure. Perhaps most controversially, she called on utility companies to cut power to consumers in periods of high demand.
This would not be a new phenomenon. Former Supreme Court Justice David Souter is the prototypical example of this type of public servant. Nominated by President Ronald Reagan and expected to be a more conservative vote, he was moved to the left by his colleagues.

Biden-Harris Administration Launches Pilot Program to Connect Low-Income Households to Solar EnergyThe Biden-Harris Administration has launched a pilot program that connects low-income households to solar energy through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

By connecting LIHEAP-eligible households with community solar subscriptions, the program aims to lower energy bills, increase access to clean energy, and support President Biden's clean energy and Justice40 goals.
