Federal Power Commission

edit

This article specifies the establishment of the Federal Power Commission in 1920 and a change towards an independent regulatory agency (IRA) in 1935. Contrary to that, the article on the Federal Power Commission states that it was "organized originally on June 23, 1930". Which one is the correct date? Could somebody clarify? See also: Talk:Federal Power Commission. --Pelzkragen (talk) 15:11, 21 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Merge

edit

The Federal Power Commission article just covers what this agency was before 1977. I don't see why it can simply be merged into the History section of this article. Cheers. Rehman 01:32, 31 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

No way FERC is self funding

edit
  • This is a commonly cited fallacy when describing government agencies. Federal agencies operate solely at the discretion of taxpayer funding. To the extent this agency 'funds' itself through licenses, etc., I'd like to see definitive proof, otherwise I will remove these sentences. 10stone5 (talk) 23:31, 25 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yes way. "The Commission is funded through costs recovered by the fees and annual charges from the industries it regulates." Page seems to be offline now, but can easily be found in Google Cache. [1] --Bill Huston (talk) 20:07, 3 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Ron Binz, President Obama's nominee for Chairman, FERC

edit

The President has nominated Ron Binz for the new Chairman, and he has attracted some criticism from the Wall Street Journal, for example "Target: Natural Gas -- Ron Binz calls it a 'dead end' technology, and he'll try to make it so."

It appears that Binz should get a wiki-bio page. --Pete Tillman (talk) 06:26, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Here's a straight news article on the controversy: An Unusual Public Battle Over an Energy Nomination at NY Times, 9/16/13. --Pete Tillman (talk) 17:26, 16 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Moot for here, as Binz has withdrawn as a candidate: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/03/business/energy-environment/new-hunt-for-head-of-energy-regulator-after-candidate-withdraws.html?src=recg --Pete Tillman (talk) 22:12, 3 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Criticism Section?

edit

Remarkably, there is no "criticism" section. FERC has been catching a lot of heat recently by environmental and community-rights activists, the industry press, and even the mainstream media. I'm adding this section with a few facts and references, just as a starter. IMO, FERC is guilty of a litany of violations of law, putting the lives of many people in danger. --Bill Huston (talk) 20:59, 3 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
