Mike Doyle: “We on the Democratic side, we are feeling your pain. It is called being in the minority.”

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.

I want to commend my colleague, Congresswoman Fletcher, for her work in developing legislation that embodies this principle.

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.

I look forward to doing that with my friends and colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
