The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is the United States federal agency that regulates the transmission and wholesale sale of electricity and natural gas in interstate commerce and regulates the transportation of oil by pipeline in interstate commerce. FERC reviews proposals to build interstate natural gas pipelines, natural gas storage projects, liquefied natural gas terminals, in addition to licensing non-federal hydropower projects. FERC is composed of five commissioners who are nominated by the U. S. President and confirmed by the U. S. Senate. There may be no more than three commissioners of one political party serving on the commission at any given time; the Federal Power Commission, which preceded FERC, was established by Congress in 1920 to allow cabinet members to coordinate federal hydropower development. In 1935, the FPC was transformed into an independent regulatory agency with five members nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate; the FPC was authorized to regulate interstate electricity.

In 1938, the Natural Gas Act gave FPC jurisdiction over interstate natural gas pipelines and wholesale sales. In 1942, this jurisdiction was expanded to cover the licensing of more natural gas facilities. In 1954, the Supreme Court decision in Phillips Petroleum Co. v. Wisconsin extended FPC jurisdiction over all wellhead sales of natural gas in interstate commerce. In response to the 1973 oil crisis, Congress passed the Department of Energy Organization Act in 1977, to consolidate various energy-related agencies into a Department of Energy. Congress insisted that a separate independent regulatory body be retained, the FPC was renamed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, preserving its independent status within the Department, its most basic mandate was to “determine whether wholesale electricity prices were unjust and unreasonable and, if so, to regulate pricing and order refunds for overcharges to ratepayers.” FERC was given added responsibility to hear appeals of DOE oil price control determinations and to conduct all "on the record" hearings for DOE.

As a result, DOE does not have any administrative law judges. As a further protection, when the Department of Energy proposes a rule, it must refer the proposal to FERC, FERC can take over the proceeding if FERC determines that the rulemaking "may affect" matters in its jurisdiction; the DOE Act transferred the regulation of interstate oil pipelines from the Interstate Commerce Commission to FERC. However, the FERC lost some jurisdiction over the exports of gas and electricity. In 1978, FERC was given additional responsibilities for harmonizing the regulation of wellhead gas sales in both the intrastate and interstate markets. FERC administered a program to foster new cogeneration and small power production under the Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act of 1978, passed as part of the National Energy Act of 1978; the National Energy Act included the Natural Gas Policy Act, which reduced the scope of federal price regulation, to bring greater competition to both the natural gas and electric industry.

In 1989, Congress ended federal regulation of wellhead natural gas prices, with the passage of the Natural Gas Wellhead Decontrol Act of 1989. In 1996, FERC issued Order 888, which spurred the creation of regional transmission organizations in the United States; this would impact existing electric power pools by rebranding themselves as independent transmission operators. Electric utilities in some regions began to spin off their generation units as separate companies that would compete in a wholesale electric market administered by the RTOs. In 2001, the G. W. Bush administration sought to give the authority of eminent domain to FERC to circumvent state and local bureaucratic processed which slowed the siting of new transmission projects; this expansion of power was most fiercely opposed by Bush’s own Republican party as being an expansion of federal power. Legal battles over the issue ended with the 2005 Energy Bill, passed with approval of Democrats and Republicans; the Energy Policy Act of 2005 expanded FERC's authority to protect the reliability and cybersecurity of the bulk power system through the establishment and enforcement of mandatory standards, as well as expanding FERC authority to impose civil penalties on entities that manipulate the electricity and natural gas markets.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 gave FERC additional responsibilities and authority. Among the many provisions of the law, FERC was given what is known as “backstop” siting authority which allows FERC to overrule any denial of transmission projects by a state within established corridors of transmission congestion "to expand transmission in limited regions of the country facing transmission constraints." In 2010, FERC issued Order 1000, which required RTOs to create regional transmission plans and identify transmission needs based on public policy. Cost allocation reforms were included to reduce barriers faced by nonincumbent transmission developers. In 2018, FERC issued Order 841, which required wholesale markets to open up to individual storage installations, regardless of interconnection point; the responsibilities of FERC include the following: Regulating the transmission and sale of natural gas for resale in interstate commerce.

The linguistic situation of the Bailiwick of Guernsey is quite similar to that of Jersey, the other Bailiwick in the Channel Islands. English is the official language, French is used for administration, there are several varieties of Norman language used by a minority of the population, Portuguese is spoken by immigrants in the workforce. English is the only dominant language in the Islands, its status is a product of the last century, some 200 years ago few people in the Channel Islands spoke that language. Most papers and other such official materials are printed and distributed in English. There is a dialect of Channel Island English that contains some Guernésiais; until 1948, French was the official language of Guernsey. Today, it is still the language used in administration, it is still spoken as a second language by many, however, it is little-spoken as a common language. It differs from the actual indigenous Norman dialects of the islands; because of their location, the islands' main source of non-UK tourism tends to be French speaking.

Within historical times, Norman dialects could be found throughout the islands, were spoken by the majority. Many of the names and terms have been gallicised into Law Norman. Guernésiais is the traditional language of Guernsey, it is a variety of Norman, similar to the dialects of Norman spoken in mainland Normandy and to the Anglo-Norman used, after the 1066 invasion, in England. There is some mutual intelligibility with the Norman dialect spoken in Jersey, it is spoken by older people living in rural parts of the island. Some 1,327 citizens of Guernsey speak 2 % of the population, it is not used as in Guernsey as Jèrriais in Jersey: only five minutes a week of news are delivered in the language on BBC Radio Guernsey. Fourteen percent of the population claim some understanding, it is believed by some to be a dialect of French. Sercquiais is the dialect of Jèrriais spoken by a minority of people in Sark, the original inhabitants of which were settlers from Jersey, it is now all but extinct. The Norman language of Alderney, Auregnais, is now extinct.

It is today preserved in local toponyms. The Alderney Society are attempting to revive it; the island of Herm appears to have spoken Norman in the recent past, but there are no records of when it died out. Other islands such as Brecqhou, les Casquets and Burhou were too small to support real communities. Although there are fewer Portuguese people in Guernsey than in Jersey, they still form a small part of the population 2% of the population speak Portuguese; this article incorporates public domain material from the CIA World Factbook document "2006 edition".
