Casten reintroduced the Energy Consumer Protection Act to strengthen FERC oversight and protect consumers from price manipulation.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Casten took a serious same-term legislative run at this promise by introducing and reintroducing bills aimed at stronger FERC oversight, domestic natural gas price protection, and consumer protection from energy market manipulation. But the evidence shows proposal and advocacy, not enactment or a completed federal crackdown on energy price gouging. Under the federal-candidate standard, that is a substantial effort without delivered policy change.
