Our friends from Beyond Xtreme Energy shut down the monthly meeting of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission today. This is part of an on-going series of actions to draw attention to the fact that FERC doesn’t work.FERC, you’ll remember, is the federal agency that approves not gas drilling or fracking, but all the pipelines, compressor stations, storage facilities and export […]

President Obama has promised to veto the Keystone Pipeline bill if the Senate passes it this week. But that may not stop the new pipeline-pals running Congress.
