In this in-depth conversation for The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, Mark Christie, Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), addresses the critical regulatory challenges facing America's energy future.

We discuss the role of states vs. the federal government in permitting and the energy future. We also discuss supply chain issues in establishing a new generation and the internal dynamics at FERC. As the U.S. aims to modernize its grid and expand its generation capabilities, Chairman Christie offers a candid look at what must change—and what’s holding progress back. He said, “We are facing a rendezvous with reality in terms of keeping our lights on.”
