Why some greens feel burnt by Biden’s FERC pick

Last week, President Biden announced the nomination of Willie Phillips
to the vacant seat at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. If
confirmed, Phillips’ vote could finally tip the scales at the commission
in favor of the Democrats, and potentially help enact the president’s
ambitious green agenda. But POLITICO’s Catherine Morehouse reports that
not all environmentalists believe Phillips was the right pick for the
position.
