the president had announced that if mr. bay is confirmed, that his plan is to elevate mr. ay to the position of chairman of ferc. for the last few months, there have been much discussion about whether the president should have nominated mr. bay to be chairman. i think there is very good reason for us to ask whether the president really should have nominated mr. bay at all. in my view, mr. bay is not qualified to be a commissioner, let alone to be chairman of ferc. mr. bay has only five years working in the energy sector. a total of five years. this is less time than the keystone x.l. pipeline has been pending with the obama administration. during the nomination hearing, i specifically asked mr. bay about his lack of experience. in response, he cited his summer internship at the department of energy research facility during college. a summer internship during college. with all due respect, this man does not have the background, the qualifications and certainly experience to take on this important role. now, the president has nominated mr. bay to replace the ferc's current ch

in contrast to mr. bay, the current acting chair of ferc, shirley lafleur, is much more qualified to hold the chair position. miss lafleur came to ferc with more than two decades experience in the electric and natural gas industries, including roles as chief operating officer, general counsel and acting c.e.o. of national grid u.s.a. and its predecessor. i find it shameful that this administration would seek to displace a well-qualified woman in favor of a male nominee with less experience. more importantly and of utmost concern to my home state, there are factors that lead us to believe that mr. bay would reliably serve as a rubber stamp for this administration's extreme, extreme anticoal agenda. this agenda harms the people of kentucky and is one i most strenuously oppose. as the current head of ferc's enforcement office, he has shown a history of targeting carbon- intensive businesses. who is to say that if installed as the next head of ferc, he won't come after kentucky businesses reliant on the coal in
