Kevin McIntyre, a commissioner and former chairman of the top U.S. energy regulator, has died.
President Donald Trump tapped McIntyre to lead the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in 2017. He shepherded the agency until October, even as he underwent treatment for brain cancer, before stepping down as chairman due to ongoing health issues. He stayed on as a commissioner.
