We told you a few weeks ago about our plan to attend the September 19 meeting of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and shut down this rubber stamping agency at a critical moment for our climate and the US fossil fuel export industry. In case you missed our planning call last week, here’s an …
Last Spring, we fought to UnFrack FERC (the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) and the Fall of FERC in September is our chance to end this imperial outpost of fossil fuels. With grassroots movements escalating against fossil fuels and federal Courts finally validating our arguments and issuing real consequences for FERC’s failures – is this the …
