FERC Boosts Environmental Justice Focus

摘要

The chairman of the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) said Thursday the panel will create a senior position on environmental justice to make sure new energy projects, such as pipelines and LNG facilities, do not unfairly harm minority communities. "I believe that the commission should more aggressively fulfill its responsibilities to ensure our decisions don’t unfairly impact historically marginalized communities,” Richard Glick, a Democrat recently appointed to head the panel by President Joe Biden, told reporters during a teleconference.
