why does the department of energy get involved in super computers? >> yeah, one of the things, you know, people think about the department of energy, and they think what we have been talking about here for the bigger part about this, fossil fuels, renewable energy, energy sources. that's actually a minor part of what the department of energy is involved with. the largest part of our budget is over on the nuclear weapons side, where the curators, if you will, we're the modernizers, we have the nuclear weapons over in our agency as well, to support that, in a number of degrees are 17 national labs. the most fascinating -- and that's the reason this is the most interesting job. it's not because of what's happened here in the last -- i mean it hadn't hurt that we found all this energy and we have these things going on, but the reason the department -- or i should say the secretary of energy is the most interesting job from my perspective is because of the national labs, the work that they do, the areas that they are working on. i mean, from a to z, and if

department of energy is doing we do so with a wider lens about other energy related matters that seem at least to us to question why some of those who have openly fought for free markets are now seemingly siding with the interest of their supporters political supporters this is particularly the case in the energy area here discussed as a director of public citizen's energy program tyson slocum i said thank you for being with us again always a pleasure so then tell me if we are overstating it here but when you were here earlier and. we talked about this coal program that they were proposing and it was that they were going to mandate regardless of price they're going to mandate that you buy coal and nuclear on the grid and forget about the free market forget about what's most efficient for your shareholders or your customers you're going to buy this stuff whether or not it's good for the environment or bad and now we see there's also california is talking about expanding into more of a regional grid a regional power plant basis and there's a story where you're quoted in the san francisc

adam: department of energy - >> this force could do that. maintains the nuclear stockpile in the air force i believe has the missiles to deal with the situation you described but what i'm getting at, in the past, the air force and as captain kelly explained these issues they are concerned about and other americans are concerned about were handled by existing departments and now we'll talk about is creating a new department but isn't it more efficient to do it when we have systems in place they can do it and do it as well and not cost much money? >> no, they have other responsible is. people realize. a point in technology that we needed a specific area in our defense system that was focused on airplanes and air force it used to be army air corps but we don't need to put it right into the bureaucratic structure we have but we have a challenge today that they did not have 50 years ago. our space-based assets are essential to our security and essential to our prosperity. we need to have people focus on the threats, whether cyber or otherwise, an

more appropriate within the constitutional structure for greater weight to be given to the department of energy, which was more closely accountable to the president. i think that concurring opinion is remarkable for two additional reasons. one, because it shows the same theme chris is talking about, neutral application of principles and the idea of accountability regardless of what political party is in power and regardless of whether it will end up being pro or anti-regulation. at some of that case, it was president obama who was in power. judge kavanaugh in that opinion -- being able to carry out campaign promises the president be able to make the key policy decisions that need to be made in carrying out the executive's role that congress has authorized the executive to play. he emphasized that his approach in that case would have -- would be in favor of president obama being able to withdraw the application to store nuclear waste. the other thing that is relevant is judge kavanaugh tells us about his view of precedent toward the back and of that. even though it is relevant to think about ind

rick perry and the department of energy wants to promote: nuclear power. they are looking at that part. members of congress, depending on members of their constituency , are going to have different interests. that is the great part about of america. you bring all of that together. the more eyeballs the better. host: in nebraska, a republican. i thought "washington journal" had had this on before. i know they had said that florida and texas were independent grids and would not be affected if other regionals went out because they had their own grid. are there other states that are now doing that and shouldn't we make the state responsible for its own grid? an interesting case because they are one of the largest producers of renewable energy. california is another example of the diversified electrical system that has taken a different approach, even going forward in terms of renewables. i think it would be a mistake to look at this is a state-by-state problem. this is a nationwide problem. ?ost: can states be independent is that even possible these days? guest

last year the epa from all along with the department of energy, granted 33 of 34 hardship exemptions to refineries due to high costs. the epa was sued on one petition. it ended up losing in court. opponents of these exceptions and say that the refiners are not under hardship, even though they are paying more than their payroll to comply with the mandates that are out there. if you look at the fact that the epa has now lost twice in court for not approving exemptions to the epa simply applying the law when it does grant them come and it should be approving more of them how does the epa thread this needle? mr. wheeler: it is a difficult needle to thread. we are following the statute, and we have had two court cases that have ruled against the agency on the granting of the exemptions. we have appropriations language to remind us to grant the refinery exceptions. one area we are trying to do is provide more transparency on the decisions we are making on exceptions. that will clear up a lot of the concerns around the issue. sen. inhofe: i think it will. president trump and you have commit

the department of energy has its flag at half-staff this morning. the department of agriculture has it at full staff. the washington monument started the day with 50 flags at half-staff, raised them to match the white house. we'll take you back out to the white house. the flag code says the american flag should fly at half-staff the day of the death of a member of congress. and then one more day. so considering john mccain died saturday, the white house is flying the flag according to code, but take a look -- this is the capitol. there on the right, the flag is flying at half-staff. senator mccain is a long-time senator there. and it's a video out of phoenix, the capitol of arizona. you will notice the american flag is flying half-staff there as well. all right, so there's controversy about the white house raising its flag back up. who is doing it right? the white house or the capitol or who? it is the white house, actually, that is following the proper code that reads the flags should be displayed at half-staff on the day of death and following the
