Is the commission prevented from examining matters people raise on renewable energy? One would assume the regulator would not have to be told to look after public health if approving something that could have an impact on health. Mr. Blaney is saying that unless it is specified in the legislation that the commission should do something then it will not do it. I do not buy that approach.
