thirty percent in january alone so five or ten percent is still you know we're still up and somebody predicted this thing i predicted it but i didn't think it was to come this fast in this period as we go to break here are those numbers after the closing bell. the u.s. is losing in two ways number one the climate denying is precluding them from the dissipating in this new economy number one and number two the effects of the climate change and why the catastrophes the global you know migrants that are the result of it and all this other problems are hurting the u.s. economy on the other side of the trade so you've got a double bind. apply to many flips over the years so i know the guy even saw you guys. football isn't
7:01 am
only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you know news and spending to do the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy played great so will more chance with. meeks is going to. despite its title and history the soviet union i know has dominated international sport however this was not about the knives of those champions from the field. you don't gotta go. right on that you're right number i do think that. you more moved there from the window offered me just remember if your brother this
7:02 am
guy who is from the order you're like irish was the first to be reserved for your view for the first soviet a lympics team with nine hundred fifty two with polluted seats of ifas concentration camp prisoners and frontline soldiers for which they're think maybe in that it's good to go there with corruption because you know much and they have an issue for the government because you're bursting with it you're in for the one for yourself or with a bit of a with you if you think that the area we're going to go with. the variations your personal quest for personal personal enthusiasm will go for you know when you're at the national borders and could be putting your where are the rivers here we are in the world free of rising tide can we.
7:03 am
back with more foreign energy and policy into this president trump's nominee to head the council on environmental quality c.e.q. kathleen hart net white has officially withdrawn her nomination from consideration her denialism on climate change had generated stiff opposition west of denver three hundred scientists wrote to the senate to oppose the nomination saying that quote this is not a partisan issue it is a matter of scientific integrity. and meanwhile tesla has announced that they will partner with home depot to sell their solar roof panels and home storage batteries directly to consumers the roof panels are designed to resemble a normal roof while the battery call them power wall is designed to store the
7:04 am
charge from the panels to power at home when the sun goes down tesla says a battery can also prevent an interruption of power to your home in case of an outage home depot is the largest home improvement outlet in the country with over eight hundred locations at first tesla employees will be in home depot stores that display booze or will be taken directly by home depot staff and after the initial promotion the solar panels and batteries will be in regular home depot inventory. to discuss solar energy and the sort industry is nick campanella the c.e.o. of sun pacific nick thank you for being here i mean what is the general state of the u.s. solar energy sector right now and how's it doing compared to a smaller companies internationally. great thanks for having me the u.s. solar jenny said the energy sector right now it's in
7:05 am
a little bit of flux facing some uncertainty as a result of the tarot if. it was generally set up to shift the production back into the united states and support local manufacturers we clearly see a pushed to level the playing field with this tariff. if you had to explain the tariff for our viewers who don't who don't know i mean where they did a tariff on solely to a tariff on washing machines i believe but explain how the solar tariff for our viewers basically the ministration pass that thirty percent tariff on any solar panel imports from overseas basically that tariff is a step down scale where it will level off after four years to about fifteen percent . ok fifteen percent all right so just a week after the president announced that tariff that juncos sall are announced that day there's a chinese company i believe would build a plant in the u.s.
7:06 am
i mean that's not necessarily is that the reaction that we thought was going to happen with regard to the tariff. well it's pretty practical you know a lot of these solar manufacturers are already currently relocated into the united states you know the go solar's is right now car only probably thinking about doing the same there are looking at the tarot the falling dollar and the number of considerations to i guess be closer to their customers when you when you take a look at the level of automation in manufacturing that they have i think strategically we believe that that would be a good decision on their part to be able to manufacture and create jobs here in the u.s. if you tell me a little bit about the number of solar related companies and the number of solar related jobs in the states right now nick right now the predominant is
7:07 am
in manufacture it's very limited in the united states i believe there's probably about three or four manufacturers here currently the predominant. structure for us in the u.s. is the installation and the man management of these solar and renewable energy projects so i meet if you think about places in the world and you think about you know the middle east and obviously they have their their own energy source with with in the ground there but it's there's a lot of sun there's a lot of sun and africa and some other parts of the world but we've got a lot of sun in the in the southwest eccentric how does the u.s. stack up as in terms of potential for use of solar energy going into the future genetic. well solar is a great aspect of providing renewable energy there's a lot of other renewable energies that we're looking to work with waste to energy
7:08 am
wind turbines geothermal so it depends on the location for you know getting the most aspects from the solar products and solar power production and what do you think are that are sort of the biggest challenges for the u.s. solar industry well primarily we're looking to be able to expand the solar footprint and reduce our carbon. usage right now i think the ideal opportunity would be to have more federal mandated products that are available for the u.s. solar installation and renewable energy projects to be developed and expanded by being able to take advantage of some of the tariff and using that tarot funds that have been collectively accumulated over the years to help finance some of the local and state and federal projects that we're looking to develop here in the u.s. well i mean the you know the administration doesn't seem to inclined to me and
7:09 am
they're all about you know the beautiful and glorious clean coal which i'm not sure i mean coal is fine but i'm not sure how beautiful and glorious that is but i guess if your jobs depended appointer it is but so i don't think they're going to go down the road nick and probably you don't either of you know mandating you know certain businesses have smaller exciter but one way to deal with it might be something i'm sure you're familiar with and they tried it here in the u.s. a long time ago and that cap and trade where you actually have to meet certain standby or metal standards and you can sell credits if you're good environmental citizen or business to perhaps those beautiful glorious clean coal plants that maybe aren't so beautiful and glorious when you talk about global warming and what do you say about cap and trade. i believe that that's a great way to tackle the needs that we have in the us and by being able to you know expand on those types of programs is what we would need that being very that's
7:10 am
a sorry you know green energy and solar not something that is going to go away but will continue to grow and become. a dominant part of our local energy grid that's for. that was nick campanella of sun pacific energy now with more on energy and renewables we're joined by tyson slocum the director of public citizens energy program tyson thank you for being with us again always great to be here bart ok so let's talk about our overall mix of energy i mean we talk about oil we've talked about solar is it a good thing that we have all these different this panoply of different energy sources out there well definitely having all of the above fuel mix like we do in the electric power sector does have some benefits in terms of being able to draw upon all these different fuel sources whether they be renewables natural gas coal or nucular but the fact is where the trends are going in terms of market penetration and cost effective fuel sources it's really being dominated by
7:11 am
renewables and by natural gas and on the transportation side obviously oil right now dominates for fuel source but increasingly especially all these pledges we're seeing from auto manufacturers the market impact of a tassel electrification of the transportation sector is the next big step and we get to that in just a minute but i will go back to fracking produced a minute i know you've seen the graphic we showed earlier when when ashley banks was here that graphic of corpus christi in austin which shows that the eagle ford fracking locations are just about as bright as the cities. you know how is that is that impacting not only energy prices but the environment. and also you've got a there's other place in the country too yeah of course i mean fracking like any extractive industry has significant environmental impacts whether it's water you
7:12 am
know you use about six to eight million gallons of water per frac to well because you're injecting this water mix with chemicals and particulates like sand to do the frac then of course because there isn't robust natural gas infrastructure to pipe out the natural gas that comes up with a frakt oil well in eagle ford you're flaring off. a large amount of the natural gas in the eagle ford as a waste byproduct that's part of what you're seeing in those satellite images and so that obviously has negative to give you guys this energy that may be less expensive but then you are burning it off and that's also going in to the atmosphere and in some cases i guess into people's sinks if they're going to burning it off and they're saying absolutely yes we have seen a number of well contamination issues across the country and then of course when you want to dispose of the millions of gallons of waste frakt water we dispose it
7:13 am
in these deep disposal wells and those are causing seismic activity or earthquakes particularly in oklahoma and in other regions where there's a lot of fracking going they call those the zinc equinix i think that's right ok so let's go to renewables and go to tesla which is just you know going full speed ahead and other car makers are feeling the pressure also you know you've got in tesla you've got a speedy car that can really move and is battery powered is that trend going to continue and continue as we go forward absolutely that was one of the brilliant marketing strategies that tesla did was show the world that all the vehicle could be a high performance desirable vehicle and really at first that was just. sort of a bad for wealthier individuals who wanted a status symbol it wasn't really a renewable energy company but with the introduction of the more affordable car
7:14 am
even though they're having serious production bottlenecks that's really a recognition that the future of the auto industry is going to be increasingly electric and so we've got to reconfigure elements of our infrastructure to accommodate that eventual switch and other other things outside of autos that will electrified transportation i mean high speed rail other things that will make sense absolutely and here in washington d.c. where i live you know i get to work every day on the electric powered subway system or metro so yet the electrification for transit isn't just for individual automobiles it isn't just for self driving automobiles it's also for transit operations you know earlier i talked about big glorious beautiful coal and i don't want to make too much part of it i mean people have jobs in it and it's an energy source and if they can make it cleaner than it is coming out of the ground that that's a great thing but you were telling me earlier about the national coal mining museum . let our viewers in on that right so the kentucky coal museum in the state of
7:15 am
kentucky last year realized that they could put eighty solar panels on the roof of the museum and generate electricity for cheaper than what they were paying the local utility which relies heavily on coal and so even in the heart of coal country to power of the coal museum in kentucky they are solar because it was the cheapest option and that's really what we're seeing across the country is that renewables like wind and solar are increasingly the least cost option for consumers and for markets and that's really the revolution that we're seeing today tyson slocum director of public service energy program thank you for being here always my pleasure. and before we go bad boy bank wells fargo has been taken to the woodshed yet again
7:16 am
this time by the u.s. predator reserve which has and this is part of it for a spin action barred the bank from the growing past one point nine five trillion dollars in assets as one analyst said the fed just put the fear of god in the bank board rooms across the country we'll have more wells fargo tomorrow with erik reiber who has written about this strange set of circumstances and be sure to catch boom bust on you tube you tube dot com slash boom bust our to catch you next time. run. the best out of the jewels with. the concept of paying to perform i actually passed myself to die. he'd what i'm so sorry to say when asked. has most of. you.
7:17 am
in the home of. your. squinty was. so. what. was it you could with us there was just that yes to be patient so i took it to education. twenty p.s.k. . but i don't want to harp selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings. the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles. that you socks try to tell you to be gossip a couple of lifestyles of the most important. off the bad guys and tell me you are
7:18 am
not cool enough to buy your product. all the hawks that we along with all the walking. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to me to people this is the simple song alone even some company elsewhere though they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us the . actual mr guys who got. to go by been this is us to quote them out. for you member of the left still brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human rights the access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than war it's about the hurt and the redistribution of.
7:19 am
purpose their debt downwards the one dollar. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us is a full on author of the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue. i see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight the president of the world bank hates it but it doesn't really mean it seriously send us an e-mail.
7:20 am
headlines on. us republicans. that's behind many of the. claims may have been based on information provided by the clinton campaign as well as funded by the clinton foundation. human rights watch has published a new report revealing how strong. drugs are being misused. totally dry and you can even talk to.
7:21 am
girls to keep up with the times some of the girls are losing perfectly. good. morning here at moscow you're watching international a very warm welcome to. us republicans have released a document alleging that the man behind the russia dossier was not only funded by the clinton campaign but was also fed information by. mr steele's memorandum states that the report was information that came from a foreign substance who is in touch with a friend of the clintons it is troubling enough that the clinton campaign funded mr steele's work but that these clinton associates were contemporaneously feeding mr steele allegations raises additional concerns about his credibility this dossier
7:22 am
was used as the basis for a trump russia probe looking into possible links between the two during the twenty sixteen election that despite criticism of the dossier as unverified and error riddled the dossier was later allegedly used to sanction surveillance on trump's team earlier it was revealed however that the dossier could have been funded by the campaign it was a rival hillary clinton if the latest claims that clinton affiliates also fed information to its author are true well chris steele says it could potentially undermine the entire collusion probe oh but did we catch them in the act or what you know and i'm sure did we catch them in the act they are very embarrassed they never thought they were really get caught we caught them the republican party earlier released a memo outlining a potential f.b.i. and the department of justice bios in their trump russia probe the document faced
7:23 am
criticism from the democrats but republicans say their investigation will now proceed to encompass even more branches of government. yes so let me get to that so phase one of our investigation was just getting to getting at the pfizer. what we're looking at now is the state department and some of the irregularities there political talk show host brian crabtree believes the democrats have fabricated the trump dossier. you have a opposition research which proves to be propaganda and not even factual information that led to the appointment of bob mahler to investigate trumped for russian collusion that appears not only not to have happened but to have been invented by the democrats paid for by the democrat national committee and the clinton campaign think about the democrats trajectory or first of all last week before the pfizer memo was released democrats said oh no we can't do this with a b. would be devastating to the institution of the f.b.i.
7:24 am
but from friday once the memo was released till today we've heard this was a dud the memo was a nothing burger it didn't mean anything it so wait a minute first it was going to damage the f.b.i. terribly then it was nothing and now it deserves a rebuttal my head spinning and some of the most vocal critics of the pfizer memo have been the washington post and the new york times journalism has become the subject of a new film but it's odd to use american explains journalistic values can suddenly change over time. the washington post and the new york times once established themselves as shining beacons of true journalism a brave group of reporters who would stop at nothing to find out as much as they can in their quest for truth but i'm actually talking about the seventy's back then new york times and poster as risk jail time by publishing classified documents on the vietnam war the new york times begins its explosive series based on the pentagon papers publication of a covert version of the war that ran counter to much of the optimistic talk that
7:25 am
permeated official statements for years now daniel ellsberg leaks the documents to the washington post you want to learn more go to the movies and check out the oscar nominated film the post seems like the perfect robot alter trump attacks on the media and according to the creators that was actually the intention one thing that both of these areas have in common that really attracted me also to tell this story is two presidents. declaring war on the news media i really feel that we shall overcome what all of us have been so subjected to over the past sixteen months while spielberg's political message is pretty difficult to miss even in the trailer you probably will be green court next. we don't. we. why don't you going to do this is ok and what are those two newspapers up to these days well they're not exactly true to the idea of exposing the intelligence
7:26 am
community the washington post was one of the loudest voices against the release of the nunez memo why because this classified document which alleges misconduct by intelligence services quote in danger's national security and wa po published a number of articles predicting devastating consequences from the memos released and slamming donald trump while they were at it and media who are in favor of the memos released got bashed as well they click on paid for fake news russian propaganda dot ca that of course was used by the obama administration to obtain pizer warrants to surveil members of the trauma campaign. and the new york times who exposed the pentagon papers back in the seventy's were also against it so the cia and f.b.i. went from bad guys hiding their secrets from the public to a pillar of society standing strong against the evil trump the irony today among many ironies is how the mainstream media forgotten their own history the new york
7:27 am
times the washington post today when it comes to a songe and others call him the worst threat to our republic is that we've ever seen but just years ago decades ago this same behavior. now lauded in the movies seem to herald this particular type of behavior that is showing again the unmitigated unbelievable hypocrisy that astounds me daily so there you have it the same outlet that has democracy dies in the dark as its slogan would prefer its secret intelligence actions never see the light of day samir khan r. t. washington d.c. well i certainly seems that no political scandal in america goes by these days without a good mention of russia. if you don't say a word. and i want you put you on the same side which is leaks approach you should
7:28 am
take a step back and wonder who's been you know you really don't. i don't even know what to say i don't want to explode on t.v. so i'm just going to end the segment now but for the record actually working for a hostile foreign government. the russians would be thrilled if we were doing nothing but killing each other every day and sadly we are. absolutely. and. the french island of corsica so large nationalistic protest on monday had a planned visit by the country's president emmanuel local authorities say six thousand people took part in the protest rally organizers put that figure at twenty five thousand. it was yet it was yes it was it. was
7:29 am
a. was only the call from the goodness yes of course what fridge but with corsican and they should recognize that this is a. money fifth we are protesting because of course chris being held hostage by france will because currently everything is being decided by officials in paris. these are the question because when you put you first of all we demand the transfer of corsican political prisoners to corsican prisons because families are suffering because currently political prisoners are located far away from their homeland this is the most important demand. the president's two day visit to the region whose population is just half a percent of france's that does come at a time of rising separatist sentiment. the one nine hundred seventy s. corsica's fight for independence is at its height with a nationalist movement carrying out
