Mike Doyle: “I hope we can all agree is counter to our shared goals.”

I am proud that today we will be considering the Martha Wright Prison Phone Justice Act.

As we continue to decarbonize the electric grid, I hope FERC will continue to be proactive and flexible in its approach to building out a grid with more distributed resources and in recognizing the benefits of innovative technologies.

It is our responsibility on this Subcommittee to highlight, as we have in so many hearings, the issues important to the people we represent.

I am also encouraged by FERC's efforts to finally establish an Office of Public Participation, as well as efforts to prepare for and combat cyber attacks on our energy infrastructure.
