Parts Per Billion

An Energy Regulator Crossed Manchin, Now He's Gone

About a year ago, Richard Glick was chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and was poised to get renominated to a new term. Today, he's out of the job. Glick's plans to more closely scrutinize gas pipeline projects ran afoul of the powerful chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.). Without Manchin's support, the Biden administration couldn't get Glick's nomination through the Senate. Bloomberg Law reporter Daniel Moore <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/environment-and-energy/us-energy-regulator-must-tackle-climate-realities-ex-chair-says">spoke to Glick</a> shortly before his term at FERC expired and he joins our environmental podcast, Parts Per Billion, to talk about what went down and about how losing Glick will affect the Biden administration's climate change goals.
