COLD@HOME

COLD@HOME is an initiative of The Energy Action Project (EnAct), an ongoing investigation of all types of energy poverty.

Cold at Home, a short documentary film, depicts how Katerina, her son Stephan and her granddaughter Maria cope with having been picked up by the perfect storm and dropped into an extreme situation. The ongoing war in Donetsk cost Stephan his job and forced them to live year-round in Katerina’s summer dacha near Kiev.

Just Two FERC Commissioners

We sat down with chair Cheryl LaFleur and commissioner Colette Honorable as their extraordinary time as the only members of the FERC continues.

Since early February 2017, FERC has faced an unprecedented freeze of certain major agenda items when one of its three remaining commissioners resigned, leaving just two. The agency usually has five commissioners, and typically needs a quorum of at least three to approve certain projects. FERC has never been in a situation in which it had just two commissioners until this year.
