activists who push counterproductive policies that make extracting energy harder and more expensive. Judy Chang, one of the president’s latest nominees to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, a federal agency in charge of approving energy projects for all 50 states, is the latest example.
To say that Chang doesn’t mind energy blackouts is not hyperbole, given that while in leadership in Massachusetts, she admitted she admired Germany’s Green New Deal-style energy transition, which has beenfor creating energy shortages throughout the country. Putting ideology before efficiency and energy security is not only wrongheaded, it’s incredibly irresponsible.
For all these reasons, it should be abundantly clear that the Senate cannot confirm Chang unless she makes explicit promises to protect the natural gas industry and commit to using an all-of-the-above energy approach.
