The first fifty years of actions taken by the Federal Power Commission (FPC) are reviewed along with new regulations by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and DOE, and a gloomy regulatory future for public utilities is seen. The author traces the changing jurisdiction and the rate-setting and licensing powers of Federal regulators, with their constraints on what utilities can accomplish in comparison with industry. Political promises to simplify these processes were desirable, but little hope is seen that this will happen. Gas and electric utilities are advised that regulation can be survived by keeping in mind that the basic responsibility of public utilities is service at a reasonable rate.
