Mike Doyle: “Recent public polling has shown that 74 percent of all Americans oppose this legislation.”

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.

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

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