"Obama's FERC Problem Isn't Going Away"

"President Obama's second pick to head the agency tasked with monitoring the nation's electric grid is set to go before the Senate next week, but it still may not be smooth sailing.

In January, Obama tapped Norman Bay to lead the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) after his first pick withdrew amid allegations of bias against the fossil-fuel industry.

But Bay, the current head of FERC's enforcement wing, may not fare much better."
