And in upstate New York, climate activists disrupted a power plant conference and forced the chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Norman Bay, off the stage. The protesters were calling for fossil fuels to be kept in the ground. It’s the latest disruption targeting the little-known federal agency, which is responsible for regulating the natural gas industry, hydroelectric projects and oil pipelines. This clip begins with Chairman Norman Bay.
Norman Bay: “A case to be made for a market-based approach to further important public policies has to be made.”
Protester: “As you all know, the World Health Organization and the leading scientists on this planet have said, 'Keep it on the ground, or sign the death warrants of hundreds of millions of people.'”
