just take the nominee for the office of energy efficiency and renewable energy for example. we would've loved to let him testify today since his office would be having to sign off on it. but as you can see that our two empty chairs at the department of energy was asked to come and they just again thwarted the request of congress. these a decision moving forward without the consent of the american people and then they won't even, answer questions from the american people's elected representatives. i would be just as angry if they ignored it and a republican administration. the department of energy seem to rely on court-ordered consent decrees initiative by environmental groups on the basis for staying out of the same room today. let's get real. agencies avoiding accountability is the theme we have seen through this congress from this democratic administration. we saw last congress with the democratic majority as well. the reason for this behavior is the biden administration knows it is politically exposed and compromise. this is an uncomfortable hearing. we hear this from our

system to clean energy. and so germany, i think, as a leader, when it comes to solar panels in europe, some of the other european countries do pretty well. but of course also fuels is probably not a leader, which is very unfortunate. for example, for australia, they have a lot of sunshine, but they also have a lot of coal. the coal industry has a lot of power, politically. and so they have slowed down the implementation of sol country that should be one of the world's best countries for solar power. they don't have much um, another place that doesn't have much of saudi arabia. again, it should be a wonderful place for solar energy, but this country is highly reliant on export and crude oil. and so they haven't put the resources into building out solar that their climate would uh, with the jump today the oil will run out. and so they have, i've been pushing for the country to get much more solar. and so i think we'll see saudi arabia solar are not the leader that they should be. and then finally, i'm going to

the big boss of one of africa's largest renewable energy companies, an energy expert from the world bankleading moroccan environmental campaigner. also on the show, i'm going to sit down with the moroccan government minister tasked with the mighty challenge of making sure everything is in place for this country to enjoy the abundant wind and sunshine whilst transforming its economy. wherever you'rejoining me from around the world, once again a big hello and a warm welcome to the show — and, i tell you what, it's certainly warm here in morocco�*s capital of rabat. in fact, this is a country that's trying to make the most of its natural resources, including the sunshine, to solve one of the biggest problems on the planet — energy. that's because everyone wants more of it and, of course, we want to play less for it. as we know, the war in ukraine has led to big increases in our energy bills at home as well as the cost of running a business and politicians, they're are trying to work out where it's all going to come from in the long term. did you know that making electricity is the single bi

so that makes solar energy a more efficient part of the energy system. but the other thing is it sounds kinda crazy kind of science fiction. but scientists are working on space based solar panel production. and some people estimate some experts estimate that a solar panel placed in outer space orbiting. the earth could produce 40 times more energy than the same solar panel on the earth's surface. and this energy would just be beams back to the earth. of course, there's no night in outer space, the solar panel can always be pointing at the song. there's no clouds, there's no rain. and so if right now it's a big f. but in the future space space solar power could provide us with a lot more efficient solar then today. and what kind of raw materials does it take to create solar panels? is it polluting to gather and mine all these various raw materials? they're very simple. they're made primarily for glass and also some metal. um, but the challenging part of solar panels is that they do use what are called some heavy metals. and not only or rare metals, not on

the ceo of bloom energy will join us a talk about the new energy hydrogen can be a part of our battlelimate change. also a new bay area documentary reveals how shelter dogs play a huge role in helping veterans overcome ptsd. the producer of "by my side" we'll talk about the film. today, a long-awaited report identifying the 12 most common lung covid symptoms. -- long covid symptoms. joining us as a long covid researcher at ucsf and one of the investigators for the nih recovery program. thank you so much for joining us today. how do you define long covid, before we jump into this conversation? >> it typically refers to symptoms that a person experiences after a covid infection. these symptoms typically were not present before they had covid. and can continue for weeks, months or years after covid. kristen: is there a lengthy you have to hit before a doctor says, that as long covid? >> i think the consensus overall is that around three months is when people kind of sort themselves out into either experiencing improvement in their symptoms or having issues that could persist for months o

energy -- steady, reliable energy to consumers. the technology to fully transition the united states to clean energy simply doesn't exist yet. all the green new deal anti-conventional energy policies in the world can't change that basic fact. if what the president's green new deal anti-conventional energy policies can do, however, is jeopardize our nation's energy supply and drive up prices for american consumers. americans know the energy price hikes of the biden administration all too well. from restricting oil and gas production to imposing tax hikes on conventional energy, president biden's energy policies have driven up americans' energy costs. but that will be nothing compared to what will happen if the president succeeds in choking off and drastically reducing conventional energy production. prices will soar, blackouts, brownouts, and calls for energy rationing will become commonplace, and our economic and national security will be in jeopardy. we're not at the point yet where we're experiencing blackouts and brownouts on a

by moving over to a 100 percent clean energy decentralized, we can make energy big switches and we can bring those work under the line of property over that line. a green society would be an economy that has smart grid that has storage available to all the renewable energy generation. sources would also be society in which there is efficient and clean transport. passenger vehicles would offer transport as a service, not being a possession of any individual. and heavy truck would be using clean seals and find those cities would be clean. wyatt because they would have split the internal combustion engine into them. and cities would be organized into smaller communities, around food and enters at the beginning of the most just size of the decade in the history of human kind. this was all of us to understand that this has been challenging and will continue to be challenging. but we can do that, we can address climate change in a timely fashion. we can avert the worst just after as a prime of change. and in so doing, we can bring a much better quality of life for oil citizens of this planet

what could be one solution to future energy crises floating of show wind energy. the company's developing this part of the project are investing 300000000 euros. in 2023, the wind farm will be towed to a site. 70 kilometers of the coast limits its powers limited equal to just a 40 is of a nuclear reactors capacity. that's floating also wind energy is a barrier of hype. unlike existing, when you book, it could produce electricity, 247, then they would yell on there. for this traditional offshore wind farms can only be constructed in which is up to 50 meters deep. the placing platforms can be installed further away from the coast where the window stronger these wind farms could be key to reaching top. and you're trying to see what francis taking bids to construct 3 commercial flights and also wind farms. and the 10 times the size of the pilot project, this economist agrees floating of the wind energy is promising yet questions and challenges about and when this up in the front should try to take the lead in this market. it's lacking behind in terms of boston, fixed

and it's energy policy, gas build, served as did europe's awareness of its energy dependence on russia. many spoke of a crisis, others were quick to point out a big opportunity. the push to move away from oil, coal, and gas, faster than expected to warn you. crane as a catalyst for the green energy transition. that was the idea. but this a plan of work. we investigated for years. europe has been hooked on the russian fossil fuels. in 2021. you got 40 percent of its total gas from russia, with an hop of russian sort like sports went to europe at a steady supply of coal moved from russian mines to european power plants. both together, europe bought about $100000000.00 of fossil fuels from russia, the year before, the invasion that left at prosperity dependent on a war monger. in this school, the, the old days taught not to put the old x in one basket. this is the bureaus executive director of the i a, an organization led by the energy ministers of rich countries. so you put all the x, you mom, basket and basket, and was it destroyed? and x that broke within a week of the invasion, his te

energy poverty. can you please explain for us what energy poverty means and why the content is a patchwork of access to electricity. and it's your poverty is a big problem in our confidence. and then as you parted comes from the 600000000 people in africa that did not have access to electricity. 900000000 do not have access to clean cooking. and even those that have some kind of electricity use, you'll see a lot of problems. for example, in johanna is x out of africa. we am right now, we're still seeing issues around lo checking on some of the big cities, you're still sending adequate energy access. that is a big problem. we somebody, that's fine, we call it energy poverty. why we are resource reach. we assume the energy pool and that is on our for can problem. and that exist in induced compliment today. cop 27 in egypt concluded, and it was my estimation that many western leaders have effectively called on african states to abandon use of their own natural fossil fuels. please correct me if i'm wron

damon: if cheaper home energy systems are combined with more people demanding clean energy from their politicians, darling... ..then there's a chance many countries could be close to 100% renewable by 2040. what i can guarantee is that not only will i be an embarrassing dad... find news. ..but that natural disasters will increase their intensity over the next two decades. man: absolute chaos. woman: run, run! get out! run, run! man: god. oh, my god! woman: whoa! but what i now know is that we actually have everything we need on both a large and small-scale to power us through these disasters. and by building new grids, loads of people will get loads of jobs. - oh, that's good. - mmm. but what would be really great during this transition, velvet, is if the people who work in the fossil fuel industry are given support and funding for retraining in new careers. paid for by redirecting some of the $10 million a minute governments currently spend subsidising fossil fuels. what struck me about the microgrids is that the profits from the shared energy stay within the community and empower in

it is energy consuming, but the waste of 20% of this amount of energy is legal under the name of topic 19 of the national regulations the building has been proposed in recent years, the actions of the engineering system organization and municipalities are good, but we are far from ideal conditions, what you did, you came, we supported that the materials required for the implementation of topic 19 of the national regulations, types of thermal insulation, such as double-glazed windows, double-glazed glass, etc. we helped that the country's production should be at least 20%, the behavior of energy consumers is influential. the announcement of the organization for optimization of fuel consumption, the installation of double-paned windows takes the largest share of the implementation of topic 19 of the national building regulations, which is the statistics conducted by the iranian statistics center in 2019. about 8% of urban buildings in the country have double-glazed windows implemented in 2015, this amount reached 25%. studies have been conducted to compare tropical, cold and temperate cl

her assault on american energy has contributed to soaring energy prices across the country. her efforts to block access to large swaths of the west has led to lost economic opportunities and her decision often ignore the law of the land. the secretary should be following the law instead of holding quarterly oil and gas lease sales. the secretary has held only one lease sale in two years instead of approving oil and gas permits on a timely basis. the secretary has doubled the length of the permitting process. instead of setting royalty rates at a level to boost oil and gas production. the secretary has raised rates to discourage production instead of doing everything in our power to increase america's energy security. the secretary is jeopardizing our energy security and at the same time, our national security. the sad fact is that the secretary's policies undermine even president biden's energy goals. world demand for copper is expected to increase by 300% by the year 2040. nickel demand expected to increase by 1900%. cobalt demand expected to increase by 2100%. much of this
