Lawmakers, consumer advocates, independent experts, and regulators are pushing the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to revisit the competitive power markets that dominate the US electricity system. POLITICO’s Catherine Morehouse breaks down why organized competitive power markets are drawing scrutiny and what sort of solutions lawmakers are proposing. Plus, a federal court struck down an EPA rule banning the use of disposable containers for transporting hydrofluorocarbons, the potent greenhouse gas used as a refrigerant.
