A brief in Utility Dive, “Senators defend state energy policies in confirmation hearing for FERC, DOE nominees,” quotes FERC nominee Neil Chatterjee touting an AEE endorsement in response to a question on climate change. From the article:

The climate question and environmental objections are unlikely to change the outcome of Chatterjee, Powelson and Brouillette’s confirmation, however. While he dodged the issue of climate change, Chatterjee touted an endorsement from clean energy trade group Advanced Energy Economy as evidence he will not stand in the way of the energy transition.
