Will the President pursue grid reliability?

 The President is using an Executive Order (EO) to gain more control over independent federal agencies, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which is crucial for maintaining the reliability of America's electric power grid.

1. FERC's Mission and Reliability Issues: FERC is vital for ensuring grid reliability, but the power grid has become unreliable.

2. Presidential Authority: The President might use his authority to direct FERC to take actions to restore grid reliability through several potential approaches.

3. Constitutional Concerns: The existence of independent federal agencies raises questions about their constitutional legitimacy. The Constitution recognizes only three government branches.

4. Reliability Measures: Two approaches to improving reliability are proposed:

• Moratorium on Intermittent Generators: FERC could stop connecting new large generators that produce energy unpredictably, which harms grid reliability.

• New Standards by NERC: NERC might develop new standards to manage the effects of intermittency on the grid, which has not been addressed by existing standards.

5. Collaboration Required: Effective restoration of grid reliability might involve collaboration between FERC and the President, especially given the current Chair's awareness of the reliability crisis.

The President's new EO could lead to essential changes in FERC's operations aimed at improving electric grid reliability through strategic actions and regulations.

"On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...
