"The Senate on Thursday voted to confirm James Danly as a commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

The chamber voted 52-40 to confirm President Trump’s pick for a Republican seat on the commission that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and oil.

'Mr. Danly has an impressive academic and professional background,' said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who spoke in the chamber in favor of the nomination. 'This is the type of individual who knows his stuff, has a great grasp and a keen understanding of these energy related matters.'"
