Energy Adviser Who Solicited Enron to Help Write Nat’l Energy Policy to Be Named Chair of FERC

By Jason Leopold

The audacity inside the Bush administration never ceases to amaze.

The latest example of chutzpah from Bush and co. is the announcement that Joseph Kelliher, a former policy adviser with the Department of Energy who currently serves as a commissioner on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the agency that controls the country’s natural gas industry, hydroelectric projects, electric utilities, and oil pipelines and has played a critical role in the deregulation of those industries, will be named by the White House Thursday to chair FERC.

President Bush had previously picked Rebecca Klein, the former Republican head of the Texas Public Utilities Commission and a close friend of the president, to chair FERC but red flags were raised recently during a routine FBI background check on Klein which forced the president to choose a new chairman at the last minute. The White House would not comment on the FBI’s probe on Klein. Klein did not return numerous calls for comment.

Still, news of Kelliher’s appointment to chair FERC came late Wednesday as a welcome surprise to many industry lobbyists and energy executives who view him as a staunch supporter of the free-market principles of deregulation and an advocate for eliminating regulatory restrictions that interferes with the free-market, despite the fact those rules are in place to protect consumers from energy price gouging and market manipulation that took place prior to the Enron scandal four years ago and, to some extent, is still somewhat routine in various parts of the country.

However, what’s most troubling about Kelliher’s appointment to head FERC, a role in which his main priority will now be to protect consumers from the manipulative tactics of the very industry he enjoys a cozy relationship with, is the relentless lobbying of bigwigs in the energy industry in early 2001, as a member of Vice President Dick Cheney’s energy task force, to help write President Bush’s National Energy Policy in such a way that would be financially beneficial to energy corporations—at the expense of consumers.

The extent to which Kelliher’s went to solicit key players in the energy industry to help write the National Energy Policy became apparent in 2003 when Judicial Watch, a bipartisan watchdog group that sued Vice President Dick Cheney to gain access to Cheney’s list of industry insiders who participated in secret meetings with Cheney’s energy task force, won a legal battle that forced the White House to release several hundred pages of task force related documents.

One such document, a March 10, 2001 email to energy lobbyist Dana Contratto, was damning in that Kelliher asked Contratto if he was “Kingâ€? or “Il Duceâ€? “what would you include in a national energy policy, especially with respect to natural gas issues?”

I think you are making stereotypically comments about Republicans in general. I live in a school district where they are rated the fifth best in the state. How did they get that way? They are funded with property tax levies. We continue to vote for increases so that our school can maintain its excellence. In poorer districts, generally inner cities, which are mainly controlled by the democratic party, the tax base may not be there or they vote down any attempt to raise taxes to improve the schools. So don’t tell me that I don’t know what I’m voting for and I don’t want a handout!

When you’re a spoiled legacy of a long line of old money, and have the freedom to bankrupt 3 companies without significant personal penalty – you never have to learn practial budgeting. This lack of personal monetary experience or fiscal responsibility is why Shrub is so incompetent and irresponsible with OUR money! He’s never had to learn how to be an adult – no one forced him to…

Note that in each case, these corporations are defended as being a national security asset and as such should not be allowed to be subject to the free-market. OK, if they are a national asset, how about distributing all their profits equally to the nation, one person at a time? So many hypocrites, so little time.

Children are the most neglected of our society. We won’t fund schools so that everyone has their own book, own meal and own desk. Some schools don’t even have air conditioning and kids work in boot camp-like atmospheres. I can understand why some don’t like the public school system, but don’t they ever wonder WHY it is like it is? Teachers and social workers are some of the least paid by our government. As they continue to grant each other raise after raise each and every year, minimum wage is stagnant (and really, no one person could possibly live on that, much less a family where one stays at home), teachers see no raises and social workers are WAY overworked. What is the common thread – children.

We have some excellent programs in this country, however, we DO NOT fund them appropriately. I am sick of hearing that we don’t have the money – that is WEAK!!!

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

The way I see it, when we start caring more about our children than our wallets, we will start to be a cohesive group of countrymen.
