the controversy is centered over the conoco phillips refinery.ts who live near the refinery say the monitors are unreliable. they're also accusing the company of violating the conditions relating to a 2009 expansion project. conoco phillips say it's now working to resolve the expansion issues. >>> today,pg and e will continue to work on millions of records of gas pipelines. more than 300 employees began a 12 hour shift to transfer them into an electronic database. the cpuc ordered them to do the work, because pg and e's records on the san bruno pipeline they say were inaccurate. >>> a major water main in the peninsula is getting an upgrade. it runs down sections of el camino rleal. the project will replace old pipe and retrofit for possible earthquakes. the upgrade is expected to take about two years. >>> we're expected to learn more information tomorrow about budget cuts and the union police department. the union is accusing the antioch city council of giving a special deal to police officers. the union says budgets are not being fairly shared.

conoco phillips said it was encouraged by the president's call for more domestic oil production, but that it wants to see more specifics. while the former president of shell oil, john hofmeister, says the president's energy plan sounded more like a campaign speech. >> i heard politics as usual, because if there was a seriousness about it, if there was an intent to move forward, i think there would be more than rhetoric. there would be specifics around what would happen this calendar year, next calendar year, the following calendar year-- and none of that was in the remarks. >> tom: for every us barrel, america impotrs two foreign one.s >> susie: the president wants to see a million electric vehicles cruising our highways within the next five years. those plug-ins could help reduce our reliance on crude oil, but they could also stress the nation's power grid. austin, texas, is one the first u.s. cities to get electric cars, but as diane eastabrook reports, austin is making sure it can keep the lights on while still charging its cars. >> reporter: mike legatt recently traded in a hybri

allow iran to have pipelines back in the 1990's, if the united states have been willing to allow conoco to take that deal with iran back in the 1990's, wrong we would have the hostile relationship we have with iran today. should we continue this pattern because of the nuclear issue? if we want to get -- to end the russian no monopoly, if we want afghanistan to be prosperous, i think we do have to end this policy of blocking iran from having pipelines trying to discourage transit trade, you know, the late richard holbrook was so proud of the fact that he had gotten a agreement from pakistan to india. well, there should be routes that go there. it's in everybody's interest. i would refer people to fred star at johns hopkins sites. he's written extensively about the silk road. everybody can belt. turkey can benefit. all of the countries along the old silk road. >> this is one area where trance force is not unanimous. i have a great expect for barbara and the work she's done here. i think this this would be absolutely the wrong time to send that signal. iran is doing everything it can now t

conoco phillips, fifth largest oil company in the u.s., made made $16 billion in profits from 2007-2009, but received a a $451 million in tax breaks through the oil and gas manufacturing deductions. over the past five years, carnival cruise lines made more than $11 billion in profits, but its federal income tax rates dropped during those years to just 1.1%. so the point is if you go out and you work for a living, you pay taxes, 10%, 15% of your income taxes. but if you're on wall street, if you're a major oil company, you have lobbyists all over this place, not only can you avoid paying any taxes, in many cases, you'll actually get a tax refederal fund from the i.r.s. so what's the point? the point is that at a time when we have a $1.6 trillion deficit, maybe we have to reduce that deficit, not simply on the backs of working families, low-income people, the children, the sick, the elderly. maybe, maybe we might want to call for shared sacrifice. maybe exxonmobil and some of the large oil companies might be asked to pay something in taxes. maybe general electric might be asked to pay som

over the past decade, b.p., exxon, chevron, shell, conoco have combined profits of just under $1 trillion, and yet we have a system that provides the billions in subsidies every year. that's simply outrageous. even traditional oil industry supporters like former president george w. bush and shell's former c.e.o. have admitted that when oil prices are this high, oil companies do not need subsidies. they all have the economic incentive they need to explore and drill. in 2010 alone, last year, they made over $75 billion, and that includes the $41 billion b.p. has spent trying to clean up the spill in the gulf, cleaning up the environment and paying for the economic damage they caused. the fact is cutting unnecessary defense programs and cutting oil subsidies are among the smart cuts that will save money while doing no harm to middle-class families. but the republican plan, on the other hand, will take money away from the one thing that will allow millions of young people to reach their goals and prepare them to help america its competitive future, namely a good education, and that's a terrib

willing to allow iran to have pipelines back in the 1990s, if united states had been willing to allow conocoto take that deal with iran back in the 1990s, i don't think we would have the hostile relationship we have with iran today. so should we continue this pattern because of the nuclear issue? if we want to end the russian monopoly, if we want central asia to be prosperous, i think we do have to end this, this policy of blocking iran from having pipelines, trying to discourage transit trade. you know, the late richard holbrooke was so proud of the fact that he'd gotten a transit agreement that goes from afghanistan through pakistan to india. well, there should be routes that go from iran to pakistan to india. it's in the everybody's interests. and i would refer people to fred starr at johns hopkins who's written extensively about the silk road, the old silk road. everybody can benefit. turkey can benefit, all of the countries along the silk road. >> i have to say this is one area -- >> where we disagree. >> -- the task force is not unanimous.
