Inside Trump’s push to reshape the US energy regulatory landscape

President Donald Trump’s unprecedented push to take control of independent agencies like the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission could send a shock wave through the energy industry. POLITICO’s Cat Morehouse breaks down the legal viability of Trump’s push, how it could affect the agencies in the short-term and long-term, and the reaction from energy industries and regulators. Plus, the Center for Biological Diversity said it plans to sue the Trump administration over its move to fast-track permits for hundreds of oil and gas, transmission and pipeline projects across the country.
