6:32 pm
that would just be awful. david: ukraine has been a sovereign nation for 30 years after the breakup of the soviet union. that biden administration is developing economic sanctions against the regions that russian troops will occupy, but not at this point against russia. the next question is, to what extent will the u.s. be willing to support ukraine's defense forces. >> the most they are likely to do is continue to supply ukraine with things like missiles and other equipment, but those will be nothing compared to what the russian military has in its arsenal. david: america's european allies have condemned russia's actions as a violation of international law. david louis, abc 7 news. dan: of course we will use the abc 7 news mobile after send out breaking news alerts if the situation escalates. download the abc 7 bay area news app for your smartphone now so you will know the news

the last two years, traveling has been something many of us haven't unable to do or are allowed to do. so come do it with us/the film is filled with action but a different kind than tom was used to with his marble character. >> we have green screens, but there is no suit, no mask i can hide behind. one of the luxuries of the spider-man mask is when something is uncomfortable and you will an uncomfortable face, no one could see in this film nathan drake is expected to be heroic that when doing something uncomfortable, i had to try to keep the smolder going. reporter: holland also spent a lot of time in the water in the movie "uncharted." it is something he says he has gotten used to since his big break in the 2012 film "the impossible." >> it's almost like hollywood is trying to drown me. i actually enjoy shooting in tanks. it's like going to a waterpark for a day. in "uncharted," swimming through

6:46 pm
valley, and it is tapping into a source we are more likely to associate with the milk in your refrigerator. here is our weather anchor spencer christian with the story. spencer: at this dairy in earmark set thousands of cows are doing what cows do, giving milk, eating, and creating methane. the greenhouse gas is a byproduct of the manure they leave behind. >> super cool to see. >> like the future of energy. spencer: but if that manure is generating more enthusiasm than you might normally expect, it is because of a mound a few hundred yards away. part of an expanding methane capture project developed by pg&e, california energy exchange, and others. eileen is with moss energy, which created a network of underground pipelines through swatches of the central valley. the pipeline is marked with yellow stakes.
6:47 pm
the goal is to connect dairies in the area to energy suppliers like pg&e. >> each dairy has a digester in their facility and they are sending methane gas. spencer: that gas is recovered under a digester mound then pumped through purifiers before it is turned into renewable natural gas. while there is plenty of raw source material literally underfoot, the challenge has been finding a cost-effective way to separate and transport of the methane. >> this is our first project, and it was really hard to go from where the location of the manure was to our pipeline. that is why it was so critical. spencer: four dairies have gone online since december with the goal of adding a dozen more. planners are hoping to provide economic benefits to both the dairies and surrounding communities, in the form of jobs. this dairy farmer recently signed on. >> it feels good, basically selling gas and making energy with what we do every day.
6:48 pm
it is just a plaster our business. spencer: as the system expands, their his hopes were significant governmental benefits. dairies are the largest methane-producers in the area. capturing an amount of that gas would have a significant impact in the fight against climate change with the trade-off of one car taken off the road per year, for each car in the program. >> we have 80,000 cows, attributing to the project. spencer: and hopefully contributing far less greenhouse gas to the environment. spencer christian, abc 7 news. dan: very interesting. pg&e is hoping that the project might eventually contribute something in the rage of 15% to 20% of greenhouse gas production aright, i want to hear more about the ring it is intriguing, right? live doppler 7 is in action tonight. i want to show you and get you

curry changed the game with his range. it's absurd, anything inside a half-court is makeable. he ended up cheering his airmail shots at the finish. >> guys get hot and they put on a show. start to go certain way. so, it definitely was something i wanted to experience. and once i kind of knew that i was feeling it, i kinda of wanted to ride that wave and see how it ended up. and, like i said, the eighth time being here, it just made it a little bit more knowledgeable. how the whole weekend works and how two play this game and enjoy yourself in this process. >> this guy is from a different planet. he literally has automatic sniper connected to his arm, and when he lets it go, not only himself, but everybody on the floor, in the stance, on tv,

they think it is going in. >> 20 see him knocking down threes like that, putting on a show, you don't want him to lose the game. larry: just unbelievable. chris paul played for a couple of minutes, but you can see his hand there. he is expected to be out up to eight weeks with a fracture in his right thumb. it is the same injury jimmy garoppolo had, jimmy was only held one week, though. the phoenix suns should be able to hold onto the number one seed in the west and hope, paul is instrument for the playoffs. the warriors were interested, so were the but today this player chose the brooklyn nets as his team. he hardly played this season. he could really help brooklyn, especially with all the uncertainty about the status of carrie irving. this college guard has been named the west coast conference player of the week.
