Michael J. Delor

Inside a Public Policy Black Box (eBook, ePUB)

Congress, FERC, and Private Electric Utilities

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Michael J. DeLor focuses on how the operation and regulation of private electric utilities has become complicated and contentious in the United States in part because of environmental impact. As a consequence, Congress rarely passes substantive economic-based legislation dealing with the topic, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), as the primary federal economic regulator of private electric utilities, must often act without clear legislative guidance.
