the department of energy , what is he hiding? why are they afraid to come answer questions about one of its own priorities before the elected representatives of the people? they can't keep hiding and that's why the chairman and i have sent an invitation to undersecretary richmond to testify about not just this ruling by the entirety of energies rulemaking agenda for old appliances and i asked consent to enter this record without exception. the american people deserve to understand the effort to regulate their stoves their appliances and frankly their lives. that said i think the witness for appearing today and for your willingness to testify about this important issue and with that i yield to ranking member rich for her opening statement. >> thank you. we are here today to discuss climates, the environment and very air we breathe . not just gas stoves. i wish my republican colleagues were as concerned about black and brown communities on the front lines of the climate crisis as they are about an appliance. this proposed rule is no

the russian military claims to have data on the participation of the us department of energy in biological programs in ukraine, this was stated by igor kirillov, head of the radiation chemical and biological protection troops. according to him, one of the seventeen laboratories of the us department of energy worked in ukraine as part of a project called the initiative prevention, with the participation of the americans , more than a dozen dual- use energy projects were organized. the united states organized the implementation of more than a dozen dual- use projects with the pi code. such as pi-157 316 490 and others within the framework of these projects. study with genetic variability. in the zones of radioactive contamination, the spread of significant animal diseases there, african and classical swine fever, directly in the interests of the us military department through the ukrainian scientific and technical center was implemented a project and 444 the main goal, which was the monitoring of avian influenza. according to specialists, among wild birds and zazovs of the black sea region,

the department of energy says the new rules will save people money. nufacturers say the changes may force you to run your dishwasher more often and that will be just to get the dishes clean. that, of course, would end up costing you more money, using more water, which i guess for green people you would think that would be a thing. joe concha with this hot take. >> if i go to a restaurant then guess who will pay for this ultimately? the person eating the food, right? everybody is already stretched too thin as it is. priorities are all out of whack. there is a war on home grown energy in this country and yet they are trying to pass all these rules. it is 31 flavors of stupid and insanity. >> harris: i feel bad for the small businesses. they are short on time getting stuff done already and now rewash their dishes. gerri willis live at an appliance store in new york city. gerri. >> that's right. biden is now focusing on your dishwasher, right, for these new green reforms. in 2027 the department of energy's new rules will go into effect and they require mor

third and finally, what changed the department of energy's mind? most significant piece of intelligence post 2020 is what reportedly motivated the energy department's recent change of assessment maximizing release of this information would shed additional light on the covid mystery, thank you. >> thank you. i recognize doctor loeowenthal for an opening statement. >> memory the committee, thank you for the opportunity to discuss intelligence on the origins of the covid pandemic. i've spent most of my life as an intelligence analyst, manager of intelligence analysts. i have also sought analytical skills to hundreds of new analysts. to be a good intelligence analyst, you have to have the ability to deal with ambiguity. very often analysts are asked to address issues for which there may not be a final definitive answer. analysts have in a world where there may be several possibilities each of which has a degree of certainty and uncertainty. this can be frustrating to policymakers who want an answer. given the available intelligence and our own expertise

department of energy determined with "low confidence" that covid was a result of a lab leak.o what happened and it made all these headlines is something dramatic and changed. the department of energy, one of more than a dozen and half of our intelligence agencies, change their evaluation to be slightly higher in confidence tht it was before. bottom line on these, this virus, it's really hard to figure out where a virus came if you can get all the information. the chinese are not sharing information with us. so i'm not sure we'll ever get to an answer. >> stephen: you were in the capitol building on january sixth and you have said before that it felt, i am paraphrasing, it felt like an ending moment for democracy. but lately you have been more helpful. what is giving you hope? >> congressman himes: i wondered, i was one of the last guys out of the capitol. i was up in the gallery. they separated us because of covid. they cleared the floor. they were seven or eight members in the gallery and they didn't know how to get us out and i was one of the last guys out and as i left, th

trumbull on capitol hill, the committee invited officials from the energy department, are they going to show up? >> rsvp is no. two department ofs have been invited to appear before the house oversight subcommittee today and from what we are told, both are going to skip out. oversight committee tells us a disturbing trend is materializing as this will be the second time in a week biden administration officials failed to appear before the subcommittee. the biden administration's unwilling to explain their policy decisions to congress and the american people is deeply concerning and speaks volumes read we are told a couple of epa officials decline invitations to a separate hearing to discuss a new proposal targeting gas powered vehicles that issue today as you mentioned, gas stoves about half a help desk goes on the market right now out of compliance with dot regulations put into place. some were public and lawmakers estimate the number could actually be as high as 90% of those currently here's a preview from the witnesses who will to speak out against the proposal. >> i'm going to say let consumers decide. a man's home is his ca

1,300,000 barrels, that is, another 200,000 over-forecasts, according to the data of the us department of energyurse, the value is less than 460 million barrels. these are the reserves that are owned by organizations, that is, importers and exporters, producers, uh, oil, traders, consumers and other organizations. in addition to this indicator , another state reserve is also taken into account, and it is now at a minimum. uh, at a 40-year low, the week before april 28 , the figure dropped another 2 million barrels to 360, uh, four million. this is a minimum of 1983 , it turns out. this situation was a consequence of the policy of the current us administration, reserves are being sold to reduce domestic gasoline prices. however, these measures experts say only temporary, because the cost will again begin to grow, when the time comes to replenish strategic reserves, and sooner or later this will have to be started. well , very briefly about exchange rates will come up now. but the dollar 79 30 euros 8757 aleksey, that's all about the economy, when artyom thank you, we will definitely keep these nu

i mean, these are department of energy officials, they were invited by republicans to testify at this the rules, but they are refusing to appear, charles, according to a gop aide telling "washington times." saying they are not attending because the proposed rules have not been finalized. but the empty chairs are something. why not just show up? this is something they believe in. >> it's arrogance. it has been finalized, it's just not official. so, they are using the wrong words. in their minds it's finalized, done. they are going to ramp it down our throats along with everything else. they are going to control our behavior, and this sort of single -- this administration, this movement, is all about one thing, the climate gods and bottom line and everything under that it's finalized, not official but final. >> sandra: the energy official, the energy secretary for the biden administration who laughed when she asked what the plans are to increase oil production in this country. she said this on the gas stove ban. listen to granholm. >> there's no ban on gas stoves. i have a gas stove, it

the key organizer and customer of work on military biology along with the us department of energy becamegor kirillov, head of the rkhbz troops, announced this at a briefing. he presented evidence of the ministry's connection with dual- use projects. so by order of the american department. the genetic variability in the zones of radioactive contamination was studied. the spread of tuberculosis of african classical plague, swine it also follows from the submitted documents that the employees of the ministry recruited specialists in the field of weapons of mass destruction who worked in ukraine, let me remind you that only officially, in 2023, the us department of energy allocated $105 million to a study on the bio threat research virtual environment project, during which it was supposed to study the features of the epidemic spread of especially dangerous diseases, the non-transparent nature of the activities of the department of energy is emphasized by the fact that it exercises the exclusive right not to return to american. which treasury is not due to expenses for the fiscal year appropr

and our guest is aleksein, director of the department for nuclear energy of the ministry of energy off belarus. alexey pavlovich well, we have already talked a little about alternative energy sources, do we understand you correctly that green energy in our latitudes is a useless thing. well, not completely useless. here you need to always study all the factors. yes, if, uh, first of all, we are talking about, uh, some remote places, yes, which are difficult to bring the power grid, yes, and we do not use it so often, then there, uh, it will naturally be cheaper to use there, for example, solar panels, there or something else, but

negative impact on the climate and on humans' health. >> i mean, we do have to the fund the department of energying up in a couple of months. you can't come in here and answer questions, why would we fund you and. elizabeth: is that a real threat? are you going to go after the funding for the energy department? >> boy, i'd really like to because this is not the first time that they've cone this -- done this. they work for the taxpayers. we are the elected representatives of the taxpayers, and if they can't come to the a hearing for the people that they, by extension the, work for, then what good are they, liz? if their so proud of their new rule, they should come and defend this rule. i found it interesting that ranking member bush said she likes gas stoves and yet she said heir dangerous and they kill people. which is it? that's not logical. elizabeth: well, what can you guys do about it? well, we could, as my good friend byron donalds said, from florida, we could use the power of the purse. we do fund them. i think we should cut their budget if they continue to ignore the will of congress. eli

recruited specialists in weapons of mass destruction, who were in ukraine, the study of the us department of energyhe ministry of defense c marked urgently. and now it’s time for economic news raiffeisenbank closed correspondent accounts for all russian banks, except for its subsidiary, the organization reported its presentations to investors that the bank intends to withdraw raiffeisenbank of russia from the group and pay dividends without taking into account the financial performance of the head office , meanwhile, profit raiffeisenbank in the first quarter amounted to 301 million euros, which is three times higher than last year's result russian oil is written about by local media , it is noted that after the imposition of sanctions , fuel surcharges have risen sharply. previously, russia was the main supplier of oil to poland, and without such a source of raw materials , the costs of operating local oil refineries greatly increase. thus , even cheap oil is not able to keep the price of motor fuel rising. chip production in taiwan could stop in the event of a military conflict, then the world ec

term aleksey pavlovich director of the nuclear energy department of the ministry of energy of the republicy we will talk about the development of nuclear energy, about our nuclear power plant, the implementation of our nuclear program. hello, on the air, the program, say, do not be silent, studios victoria popova and svetlana smolonskaya. and today our guest is alexey derbin. good afternoon alexey pavlovich good afternoon today we will talk about the first belarusian nuclear power plant in such depth. as far as it is possible in the format of our programs. and let's first find out at what stage of launching the second power unit, we are now. today we are at the stage of energy launch. it is coming to an end and the experience for industrial operation is coming. this is the next stage. uh, within this stage. we have reached the minimum controllable level of power and reactor. it's 1%, e afterwards. we increased this capacity to 40% on the thirteenth of may. we are connected to the network. that is , the turbine generator has already started working with the turbine and began to produce kilo

the department of energy recommending americans keep their a.c.it for it, 82° at night this summer? and during the day, no lower than 78°. let's see what patrick murphy, and tammy bruce, think about that. i don't know, 82 -- i don't know a lot of will be a fan of that. what's your reaction. >> we work hard for a living, middle class people generally, left alone, inflation, the government is so involved in our lives they are telling us what the temperature should be in our home. it is unacceptable. but then it makes me worry because you know, we have smart meters now, can be controlled and seen the experiments and tests where the government or the gas company, whoever it is, can turn that meter down to the preferred or the approved temperature for your home. this really is about training. it also makes me think that perhaps there is concern about the grids across the country, which there should be concern, when it comes to -- what is it about the best country in the world where we can't just all turn on the air-conditioning and open all the doors i

the us department of energy recorded at least 13 cases of russian nuclear aggression in ukraine. please tell me why recently russian propaganda so often uses the topic of the nuclear threat. nothing new for me. to be honest, for the past 9 years, they have always been making jokes about the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, because it was one of the best examples in which the americans and ukrainians cooperated on the modernization of the nuclear plant, westing house was located there, and they were preparing modernization in order to use a different type of nuclear fuel for this plant and for ukraine , so that we would not be dependent on the supply of the russian variant of nuclear fuel, and therefore they paid a lot of attention to zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant they are here also at the same time they would like to raise the level of fear among the americans or western partners about a possible nuclear explosion or is it was there a station, or was it the use of a nuclear nucleus, and everyone already understood that it was extremely , well, almost unbelievable that it happ

so richard noted i've been a deputy sefbgt energy department -- secretary of the energy department in the second half of the obama second term. and we were getting after this problem already there and lots of work has been done subsequently. the most -- i mean, there are many dimensions of how we're getting after this. internally what we do as a government is we prepare for what we call the full spectrum or all hazards scenarios of things that could disable our nation and i think one of our most significant vulnerabilities is the soft underbelly of our country that keeps us running and that's the power grid. which enables everything. and going back to the obama administration amend coming forth to the present time, we exercise a great deal with our industry partners because more than 90% of the grid is in private hands. with state and local partners. and we prepare for what could happen and what we would do about it. and we test that proposition constantly. are we ready enough? we're never ready enough. that's why we exercise. we always discover that there are weaknesses that we need
