Washington, D.C. – Community members and organizations from across the nation took the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to task today at a virtual hearing for the agency’s years of abuse and bias. Organized by the VOICES (Victory Over InFRACKstructure, Clean Energy inStead) coalition, the People’s Hearing provided a forum for testifiers to speak out against the harms FERC has inflicted against the environment, communities, property owners and states in its approval of pipelines and fracked gas infrastructure. This is the second People’s Hearing the coalition has held after years of calling on Congress to hold hearings into FERC’s abuses of power and law.
