Activists Throw Wet Blanket On FERC’s ‘Blanket Certificate Policy’ Changes
As they have for the past decade, the environmental activist group Beyond Extreme Energy (BXE), along with other frontline groups, has protested, demonstrated, and attended the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) monthly public meetings at the Washington, DC headquarters to bring before the commission their concerns regarding an end to fossil fuel expansion.
Before the July 16 meeting, BXE members began an early morning sit-in to protest FERC’s proposed blanket certificate policy changes. Activists blocked the building’s garage entrance where they disrupted access as arriving workers and commission members were turned away.
