Repubs (Cheney) seek to delay FERC grid rules (industry sources)

WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters)

--- Republican leaders -- including Vice President Dick Cheney -- have pledged to pursue significant delays in the FERC's plan as part of an upcoming bargaining session between the Senate and House of Representatives, industry sources said. ---

The now-scrapped Republican energy bill would have banned the FERC from moving ahead with its rules until July 1, 2005, while Shelby wants a ban stretching into 2007.

Cheney, the administration's point man on energy policy, on Thursday pledged that a delay of FERC's grid plan will be a high priority, an industry source said on condition of anonymity. Cheney's spokeswoman was unavailable to comment. ---

1. Jee-zus! Shouldn't the

SPOKESWOMAN at least be in a DISCLOSED location? I mean, it's bad enough to pay Cheney to fuck us all square up the ass, ready or not, but shouldn't someone at least be answering the damn phones!?
