Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

Read a random definition: LIFO

A quick definition of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission:

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is a group of five people who work for the U.S. Department of Energy. They are responsible for making sure that companies who sell natural gas, electricity, and oil by pipeline charge fair prices. They also give permission for companies to build hydroelectric-power projects. FERC was created in 1977 and replaced the Federal Power Commission.

A more thorough explanation:

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is an independent commission within the U.S. Department of Energy. It is responsible for regulating and overseeing various aspects of the energy industry in the United States.

FERC has several key responsibilities:

Licensing hydroelectric-power projects
Setting interstate rates for transporting and selling natural gas for resale
Setting interstate rates for transporting and selling electricity at wholesale
Setting interstate rates for transporting oil by pipeline

FERC was created by the Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977 and succeeded the Federal Power Commission as the enforcer of the Natural Gas Act.

For example, if a company wants to build a hydroelectric-power project, they must obtain a license from FERC. FERC will review the project to ensure it meets certain safety and environmental standards before granting the license.

Another example is if a natural gas company wants to transport and sell gas for resale across state lines, they must obtain approval from FERC for the rates they will charge. FERC will review the rates to ensure they are fair and reasonable for both the company and the consumers.

“Your career path is likely to be driven by a deep-seated need to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. You thrive in roles that allow you to inspire, guide, and develop others, making you an excellent teacher, counselor, or team leader. Your natural charisma and ability to articulate a compelling vision make you a standout in fields like human resources, public relations, or non-profit management.”

I have "operator syndrome" which is VA for a lot of TBIs, everyone is a little special but also being social sometimes just sucks. Not everyone is wired to be a super extrovert and it is okay to be less social

babycat

9:21

you can have a sense that you’re different from other people and don’t fit in or don’t understand them without being autistic I think
