told us that he has “encouraged EPA to consider the cumulative impact of their regulations.” Unfortunately, that’s not good enough. Only two weeks ago, the president established a national interagency task force on shale gas development to ensure that federal regulations are well-coordinated and not duplicative. We shouldn’t need an executive order to get agencies to work together but perhaps we need one to maintain electricity reliability. At the very least I hope that FERC will immediately convene another technical conference to gather evidence regarding the cumulative impact of EPA’s new power plants regulations.”
