Another bit of news from our FERCing friends. If I had to put my kahunas on the line I'd say Trump and his new Energy Secretary (and very much pro oiler) Rick Perry are going to dismantle the current FERC process and replace it with one that they can shunt approvals through at great speed. The environmentalists are going to be keeping the courts busy going forward.
Whatever the reason is, it's clear (IMO) that FERC is going to be a distant memory within this DT term in office.
I have no opinion on how that affects the ant though.....but I'm sure the punters will come up with reasons to support their investments.
No FERC Meeting for February
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has canceled its February 16, 2017 agenda meeting, Acting Chairman Cheryl LaFleur and Commissioner Colette Honorable announced today. Acting Chairman LaFleur and Commissioner Honorable also have decided, in view of the lack of a quorum, to suspend subsequent monthly agenda meetings until further notice.
Unless otherwise announced, FERC will continue to hold previously scheduled meetings and events sponsored by FERC, including the joint meeting between FERC and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on February 23, 2017, and the upcoming Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act of 2013 workshop on March 30, 2017. FERC also will continue to announce and schedule future meetings, technical conferences and workshops as appropriate.
