Report: FERC nominee too much of a greenie for key energy post

President Obama’s nominee to head the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is being slammed as an overzealous regulator who promotes green energy at the expense of the coal industry, according to a new report.

Ron Binz was also described as someone who “unabashedly gives priority to social engineering over minimizing ratepayer costs.”

And it points out that he was found to have violated Colorado ethics rules when he accepted a free trip to Houston paid for by a natural gas company in 2010.

First we had Steven Chu who said "somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe."

Now we get another guy who appears to want our electricity price as high as Europe too. I think Ron Binz is the very last person implementing energy policy with the economy still flat on it's face.
