Ed Markey: “the planet is dangerously warming, and the science is clear.”

I am praying for Robert and his family today.

This dangerous deal is the starting gun for a Middle East nuclear arms race.

FERC has a statutory obligation to ensure that consolidation in the energy sector serves the public interest, not corporate profits. It is impossible to see how this consolidation will not put the public interest at risk.

I urge the Trump administration to use Robert’s case as motivation to continue to advocate for the release of others wrongfully detained in Russia and around the world.
