Jerome Wagner, Sally Gellert and three others attempted to get citizen’s recommendations heard by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission during a recent FERC meeting in Washington D.C.. Their recommendations were to rapidly move to the use of renewable energy sources and phase out dependence on fossil fuels. Since public comment at these meetings is not allowed, they disrupted the meeting. They were representing FERC action, organized by Beyond ExtremeEnergy. Duration 17:12
