Window on the Bay State
Web Admin,
President Biden has nominated former Massachusetts Undersecretary of Energy and Climate Solutions, Judy Chang, to be a FERC Commissioner. Ms. Chang is possibly best well-known for a 2018 comment staking out the position that because New England would move away from natural gas within the next five years it was irresponsible to invest in pipelines. At the time—let alone six years later—that is an odd stance for anyone who aspires to serve in a body responsible for ensuring the development of abundant supplies of natural gas at reasonable prices. Related, FERC is most recently known for ‘doing an EPA,’ i.e., “unlawfully supporting climate goals that Congress never approved.”
With Massachusetts’ Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs, which Ms. Chang previously helmed, yet to move on a contemporary, similar request, GAO notes the Commonwealth’s Department of Public Utilities (DPU) has released some records which do open a window onto that office’s working relationship with a renewable energy trade group called Advanced Energy United.
AEU has recently been shown to be the matchmaker for Michael Bloomberg’s operation out of NYU, the State Energy and Environmental Impact Center, to place activist ‘staff’ in progressive PSC/PUC offices to advance their aligned ‘climate’ agenda’, just as it did in AG offices.
Advanced Energy United used to be called Advanced Energy Economy. A Tom Steyer Joint, per his counsel:
GAO looks forward to MA OEE releasing the requested public records.
The enemy is within the gates; it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend.

For those outside USA, FERC = Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Thanks. I hate when an article doesn’t define its acronyms at least once in the beginning.
Wokeachusetts- where they worship the sun and win and hate cutting any trees for any purpose.
Where they love illegal immigrants. A state totally dominated by far left women. etc., etc., etc.
As long as they stay off of Martha’s Vineyard.
Exactly. Now we have a billion dollar per year expense because of these ILLEGALS. The governor whines that we have huge housing problem- but she never associates the housing problem with HER love of illegal immigrants. The state can’t even say that term. Instead, the illegals are referred to as “migrants” as if they migrated from Minnesota.
So she wants more housing- yet she’s trying hard to cover the state with wind and solar “farms”- while locking up all the forests to do nothing but sequester carbon. The wood for the new housing will have to come from far away rather than from forests in this state.
There are no jobs in this state for uneducated/unskilled folks and housing is extremely expensive. It would make more sense for them to get a bus to parts of the country that might be able to employee them in low skilled jobs- and where housing is much cheaper. Or better- just don’t let them in at all.
As for President Biden, Judy Chang, the FERC, AEU, and Michael Bloomberg all being involved in this CF, outsider observers might say it is just one part of “the swamp” that needs to be drained.
I prefer the analogy of that group being “a cesspool” of special interests that are oblivious to the practicalities of meeting future USA energy needs.
I don’t see any of these billionaires giving away their money to stop climate change. Heck, I don’t see them changing their lifestyles, such as giving up second homes or selling their private jets.
Double heck — None of them are dumping their beachfront homes. None of them are truly worried about rising sea levels.
