Neil Chatterjee, a departing member of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), says his handling of a Trump-era push to expand and elevate coal and nuclear power unintentionally led to a further political divide in the energy world, reports E&E News.
“Perhaps after I depart the commission and this element of politics that I unfortunately injected into it is removed, the commission and my colleagues can work together with the staff to address what is a serious issue,” Chatterjee said.
