as we share our 2017 state of american energy approach. it is our hope and expectation to lay out the views of the oil and natural gas industry as we look to017, as we move forward. they also mention that we have placed the 2017 state of american energy report at your seat. the title of this year's report really captures or says it all. energy is everything. energy is fundamental to our society. from the electricity that lights our homes and powers our appliances, to the fuel that keeps our vehicles running, to the chemicals that make modern possible, it recounts countless ways that they contribute to society with while and natural gas serving as its foundation. it is so woven into our daily lives that few will ever question whether it will be there or where it comes from. by detailing the contribution to almost every moment of every day, the report gets back to the basics and keeps the focus where it should be, on the american energy consumer. pendants are still analyzing the 2016 election, but one thing is certain, voters want and expect change. above all, they want result results in a new focus on finding positive solutions that improve

gas but all. we are advocates of a all. i think it is a question of education. as the polling data assured should with you today shows, think there was a lot of numbers but they are compelling. of theu find a 80% public, a clear majority of democrats, republicans, and oil, gas, andee say, we need more of that than i think there is a clear, strong consensus on moving forward. there are some that do not agree with that. allill likely not change is good for0 or 80% most officials. we should view at the same in the energy. the public supports building infrastructure will stop creating american jobs. there will always be some that have a different view and all of us here together i'm sure support their right to express that view but once the majority speaks, the process is outcome of the decision is made, we need to move on. >> climate change. what will api do climate change under a trump administration? >> the industry generally will continue when it has been doing and that is reaching out and demonstrating solutions to the challenge. what i mean by that? i tried to em

as a curse for some and a blessing for others, locked into the basin might be as much as 400 trillion feet of shale gas, the fifth largest deposit in the world. since the moratorium on natural gas exploration was lifted in 2012, companies like royal dutch shell and others are lining up about south africa's door, waiting for the green light for what the moment- for what the government hopes will be green energy, jobs, development. >> one of the issues we have with the long-term costs of fracking is that the governments and the oil and gas industries are very keen to promote it on the basis that it brings prosperity. what is this the talking about? are they talking about short- term gains for a few global companies and the government that is to be ruling at the moment? that is what they call prosperity. that prosperity is that the cost of the prosperity of future generations, then it is not worth it. >> this group is part of a growing resistance to natural gas production that appeared to whatever it takes to prevent exploration in this deposit. >> the problem of exploring is something there has never bee

residents use in these neighborhoods are affected, so they do have sewage, water, electricity and gas as well. pg&e crews are here though installing a by pass to the gas line just in case that asphalt collapses overnight and hits that gas line, so that's just a precautionary measure, and then crews will begin working tomorrow morning to actually tear back the remaining asphalt to expose the entire sinkhole and begin repairs. julie, frank. >> thank you. >>> to our meteorologist mark tamayo. mark, some of the rainfall totals are staggering. >> yeah, those numbers really jumping up over the past week, so 2017 starting off very productive here in northern california with excessive rainfall. we've been talking about some pretty potent storms and, of course, the atmospheric river is set up from the last weekend producing all the excessive rainfall. these are the totals just over the past five days, as you can see the five-day total fell over 9." santa rosa approaching 9." napa 5.5. redwood city over 4 inches, and even san jose over 2" rainfall. here's another way to look at it. this is actuall

there really needs to be a focus on the ability to remove carbon as much as possible from the coal itself. and also with natural gasoming prevalent as well, that balanced energy portfolio should be a true benefit not only in mitigation of cost to our consumers but also reinforce the ability of coal to be maintained as part of the portfolio. that's the key point because i think most coal units today are fully controls from a sulfur dioxide and mercury standpoint. so obviously the more emphasis placed on removing carbon from coal as well, it certainly will be one of those resources of the future that will be maintained. so i think overall, it's positive for that set of fossil resources to remain a part of the portfolio of the u.s. >> at the same time i got to ask you as we've talked many, many times and to your predecessor, we can't lose sight of the fact that coal is not beautiful. i mean coal has a lot of attributes that we really don't want to burn versus what we thought we did when jimmy carter said that we are the saudi arabia of coal. i mean as a person who i know cares about the environment and who runs a majo

between 2010 and 2014 the company invested in a major cycle in oil and gas properties. as those assets continue to come on stream, we think they can buy in the next few years. so their cash flow can accelerate. simpson they hit their peak, it it can fall significantly from here. so it is gaccelerating. if you combine that with a very good balance sheet able to under the dividends, we think it is a get risk reward. >> and finally pfizer. it has high returns on capital and we think they're saveable and sustainable. the company has a very good pipeli pipeline. and they have a cash flow allows them to increase dividends, stock buybacks and edge gasing in a good position. and it allows them to engage in strategic acquisitions. so here's a company with high returns on capital. trading at a digital yield just north of 4%. we think that's a good reward for our clients. >> on that note, i want to note that you and your team were recently monitored for the 2016 stock fund manager of the year award. thanks for joining us. >> what can jump start? >>> here's a look at what to watch for

is successful greenhouse gases sox and okay which the chinese doesn't bore with as well as using clean natural gas as opposed to their electricity we would have more of a impact on greenhouse than any other arrangement i would like to get your thought on that one: >> you know i'm a bit of a competitor. -- governor brown used to not be happy with me showing up in california to recruit businesses from california to texas and maybe i may have showed up in your state as well, but the competition is a good thing. and i think the competition that can occur with the united states putting tax and regulatory policy into place to bring manufacturing back on shore is a good thing. it would have the added benefit of forcing china to make changes in how they do their business. as i said earlier, about taking one of our number of senators no sell technology to china. all of that makes good sense to me that we not only we retrieve that back into the united states because we know we can, this isn't theory, this isn't talk. i have seen the 12th largest economy in the world lower car been die objection admission by
