national obsession. the search lasted two weeks, which turned into decades of conspiracy theories, false sightings and even hollywood movies. culminating in a 2012 search by an historic aircraft recovery group on an islandew guinea coast which included discoveries of human bone fragments and freckle cream. no plane. the star tiger jet carrying 31 passengers from portugal to bermuda in 1939 and another jet from the same airline, the star air yal, after takeoff from bermuda a year later helped put the bermuda triangle on the global map of eerie, unsolved mystery. more eerie than a crash, the notion that a jetliner can just vanish triggers our ultimate fear and our enduring fascination with air travel and its small but ever present risks. on a human level we like the flight 370 families hold out just that last kernel of hope for a miracle that somehow the plane landed on some remote pacific island and the lost people are just that. lost. not gone. when a loved one dies, you bury them. when they disappear, you see them everywhere. across a crowded room for an instant. in every crowd, around every corner. they're neither living nor dead. it's very, very hard to move on. that's the agony the families of fligh

conference in copenhagen failed to produce an agreement among states, the president of maldives simply said, we are going to die. in addition to sea level rise, island nations face other immense challenges from climate change. slight changes in ocean temperature from increased warming and increased ocean acidity, which scientists explain as a consequence of oceans absorbing more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, disproportionately affect communities living on island nations, and i'd like to ask the senator from rhode island to talk a little bit about ocean acidification and the impact it has on fisheries in the north eevment i know it has a real cull tiewrld and economic and environmental imract. and i'm not totally sthiewr people are fully grasping how dangerous this is, not just from an ecological standpoint but from a food security standpoint, from a price of food standpoint, from the standpoint of jobs in the economy and i'm hoping that the senator from rhode island can elucidate this. mr. whitehouse: before i do that let me follow up on the point that senator schatz was making, because you don't have to go to faraway island nations to see people who

island of mallorca remained within france, first as a colonial territory, and later on it was included into french republic as just another department. was it an annexation or self-determination? the united nations or the african union did not accept the decision of france, but the european union did. and as to the reaction of our western partners, let me say it again, it will be their decision. the russian president is in constant contact with president obama, with chancellor merkel, with prime minister cameron, with other european leaders, with the chinese chairman, the turkish prime minister, and i am in constant daily talks, telephone talks and meetings with our western partners. we are not hiding our position. we are not even evading the questions that are being asked. it all needs to be discussed honestly. >> [indiscernible] >> i cannot answer this question. we never decline and reject a cooperation and diplomatic framework, and if our partners do not want that, we can never force them to do that. but i do hope -- i feel in personal meetings and conversations that i hope that they are aware that this is the case that cannot be looked into in an isolated way, without looking to the history.

national average and twice as high as alaska's rate. hawaii's multiple islands mean multiple grids that all must be managed independently. looking forward, the state is considering an undersea transmission cable as one of the key possibilities for sharing renewable energy and reducing rates throughout the islands. a major consequence of our geography is that the best clean energy resources are not located in the same places as our demand centers. awahoone island has high demandd waikiki and the pacific demand and one island may only be able to realistically generate 50% of its only renewable energy. hawaii has been unable so far to take care of the mainland's low-cost gas. and various groups have also begun to explore bringing low-cost l.n.g. in order to further transition away from our dependence on low sulfur fuel oil for electricity. so back in 2008 with high energy costs, a desire for greater energy security and the pressing need to get serious about reducing carbon solution, it was clear that we needed to do something. hcei was founded on a memorandum of understanding signed between the state of hawaii and the u.s. d.o.e. in 2008. this partnership resulted in
