in all honesty, about what energy is doing, what to do part of energy is doing for energy. could i give you a chance to answer again? that question? does line five, and what it brings through, have an economic impact on michigan and the country? jennifer: i have learned in my years in politics that sometimes it is best not to get in front of states, governor, or a president, especially if you are in the administration. if is something is in the courts, which is. >> what advisory giving to the president about the necessity of having resources that come in partnership with canada, and impacting as states significant -- impact the united states significant? >> my counterpart in canada, signed an mou about the importance of working together on energy issues. we were talking about critical minerals, they are huge ally and we have similar goals. >> critical minerals are important especially as we think of the electric ovation -- electrification of vehicles and etc.. right now we do not have that up and running as complete as it will be. we need the resources that come from, our n

and that is renewable energy combined with energy efficiency . you get more carbon reductions from new renewables than spending that same money on keeping an existing reactor running. and new reactors are still just designs on paper with many safety uncertainties. and they never get here in time, or in enough quantity to do anything. a tool for the climate crisis. it may go ahead well, which is great to know that you know, there are some major disasters that have caught the public's eye. but if you adjust for the amount of energy that nuclear produces and compared to other sources of energy, remember no energy source exists in a vacuum than you know, that denominator becomes huge and that a new her ends up becoming one of the safest energy sources. there's a reason why every nuclear incident becomes national or international news. it's because they're so few and far between all leagues from coal ash, ponds on natural gas explosions. these things happen all the time and it, it kill and injure workers and cause a lot of damage to the a local and re

energy production before you today. i am rick, ceo of devin energy. we are at a moment of crisis given russia's unprovoked and unjustified invasion of ukraine. devin energy is an independent exploration company headquartered in oklahoma city, and founded in 1971 we employ more than 1600 hard-working people in oklahoma, texas, wyoming and north dakota. we completed a merger and are proudly producing more american-made oil in our 50-year history. we find and produce oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. we do not refine or sell refine products. we do not set or have significant influence over the price of our products. multiple factors impact the price of any global commodity and over the past two years we have seen extreme volatility. as a covid pandemic all but shutdown global economies, demand for our products increased drastically, and the market for crude oil plummeted and crude oil futures went to a $37 a barrel. markets adjusted and we add tkefen adjusted. uncertainty still continues, and i don't believe we are out of the woods yet. shifting

ukraine is designed to export, energy, not receive energy imports. so, these sources of infrastructure investments are immensely important, and of, course of people [inaudible] it's going to take a long time. when it takes a much longer time if you never start. and so i think in every crisis we should look for an opportunity. one of the opportunities here is renewed investment in energy infrastructure globally. >> you're right, general, common sense. let's just talking about the pipeline former national security perspective as well. from what i've been hearing my colleagues across the aisle and the president of the united states don't seem to understand or willfully ignore that their actions not only reflect current prices but heavily influences decision-making focused in the future like investment, of course, oil futures, and all price contracting. all of which feedback to the effect the current and future prices as well. so, mr. wirth, i know that chevron, especially after your acquisition of noble energy, have significantly, you have a significant

energy security and laying a leading role in energy transition . thank you . >> chair recognizes mister sheffield for five minutes. >> chair degette, ranking member pallone and distinguish members, thank you for the opportunity to testify. conair was one of the first companies to speak out against invasion of ukraine. companies and its employees have pledged $20 million for humanitarian needs. upon other gas companies are doing more to help ukraine protect the us. the oil and natural gas we produce proved to be a political asset for the united statesand is also the critical offset to russian gas . without natural gas delivered europe would have a greater difficulty getting up to russia. i'm here is the largest producer and most active thriller in the permian basin. considered the largest oil bill in the us. our company has invested 45 billion to quadruple production to over 600,000 barrels equivalent per day. pioneer is solely an upstream company and are companies are purchased by utilities. they operate on private lands to find its oil and gas com

we need a positive energy policy instead of a punitive energy policy.many of these companies before us have invested billions in research and development that have directly benefited americans consumers. several have made large investments in pennsylvania that have not only spurred domestic production but provide thousands of families sustaining jobs in the communities that i represent. this is the answer on how we bring gas prices down. the solution to our energy crisis cannot be found in saudi arabia but rather in somerset county, pennsylvania, and bedford county, pennsylvania, and camera county, pennsylvania. enabling production here at home is the only way to give americans the economic future that they deserve. my first question. a great example in my home state of the type of long term development that we need is the shell pennsylvania petrochemicals complex. it has brought thousands of construction jobs and hundreds of permanent jobs to the region. i've been to this plant. i stood with the pipe fitters, the electricians, and the plumbers, working

putin has really changed i the way we perceive energy supply and security. for all sorts of reasons it is such an incredibly interesting moment. and i hate to be the doom and gloom here, but we do need to be more realistic about what will happen in the immediate term and i think that will grow more acceptable political framework for using fossil fuels in the immediate short term. so a good example is one of the humanitarian things australia has done is send tens of thousands of tonnes of coal, " humanitarian coal", to ukraine. nobody is actually saying that as a bad thing. nobody has called them out on it. why would you, because ukraine urgently need energy. we are sending them humanitarian coal. it is really good pr. not a dirty fuel, it is humanitarian call. scott morrison, who very infamously went into the australian parliament with a lump of coal saying "don't be scared of it, labor party," he gets up and welcomes president zelensky to give his address to the parliament and says "you have our bullets, and our coal" and everyone in australia went, that is

energy.umers. when you say you have already been helping 2000 - consumers. when you say you have i already been helping 2000 customers per day who are facing financial difficulties, is it fair to assume that because most of your customers are on prepaid metres, they are already some of the worst off in society anyway, and so i�*m just wondering if it is possible to kind of add up the figures in terms of the total number that you have been helping each day dealing with their concerns in terms of a proportion of your overall customer base? yes. concerns in terms of a proportion of your overall customer base? yes, our overall customer _ your overall customer base? yes, our overall customer base _ your overall customer base? yes, our overall customer base is _ your overall customer base? yes, our overall customer base is just - your overall customer base? yes, our overall customer base is just over - overall customer base is just over 800,000 customers sol overall customer base is just over 800,0

critics say the government _ energy bills. critics say the government has _ energy bills.rnment has missed i energy bills. critics say the government has missed a l energy bills. critics say the - government has missed a great opportunity to do a lot more to make homes more energy efficient, to re—insulate properties that need that being done, because that is going to cost private home owners a lot of money. they may not make that investment and yet it could have a significant impact on reducing carbon emissions. it is certainly true that the tendency of governments in circumstances like this to reach for big, dramatic supply announcements, and to ignore the fact that the challenges are partly driven by how much energy we use, british homes are pretty leaky, and we are now paying the price of abandoned energy efficiency programmes, and the government needs to take this crisis is a wake—up call to get serious about energy efficiency but we would have to do a lot on the supply side anyway, hence some of the targets in this strategy review. �* , ., . ., review. are you concer

has this accelerated the focus on energy security, the transition?and come up with energy prices soaring, the thought would be traditional sources of energy, like lots more coal in germany, and not necessarily renewables because they take time to go in. but in the longer term countries have said, hold on a second, there is now a way to decouple. i think that is exactly right| and that is the good news. i don't want to get ahead i of our discussion but i think in the short term we are seeing some of the old stuff— being extended, - nuclear power is back. the nature of the discussion has changed _ in the last six weeks. because of what's happening in ukraine. putin has really changed i the way we perceive energy supply and security. in germany, they mothballed nuclear power stations and say now they will bring some back. that is how dramatic this change has been. for all sorts of reasons it is such an incredibly interesting moment. and i hate to be the doom and gloom here, but we do need to be more realistic about what will happen in the immediate term

solar power is the earth's most abundant energy source. today that goes far beyond simply plonking panels on rooftops. we keep seeing scientists develop new ways to make the technology more flexible, more powerful, and more useful. this factory in stockholm is making ultra—thin solar cells that don't even need sunlight to harvest energy. the idea is they can be used outside or inside your home to power products. i will be showing you later on what that means for various devices. but first, here's dan simmons has been looking at how solar could help the energy price crisis. although most of us like the idea of clean energy, so far we've not been persuaded. maybe it's because we don't own our own roof. or it's the upfront costs. maybe we are thinking of moving and feel we can't take solar panels with us. or just those glaring large slabs isn't quite the look we're after. so i've been to the homes of two british start—ups. who want you to look again. this is the solivas arc. it's curves are wrapped in an organic solar film which doesn't conta

of variety and energy and more energy produced at a more affordable and sustainable way.ven't gone about it before? are there lessons they could learn internationally about making these options more attractive? well, i think they've got to look at taking the public with them and maybe the shock of these very high energy prices we're seeing at the moment, going even higher because of the ukraine war, is the shock that they need to allow them to, government to install things like onshore wind and new nuclear in the countryside. we need to make ourself much more independent of foreign suppliers of energy, and that does mean taking gas and oil from the north sea as much as we can, and taxing those companies and keeping the royalties such that we can subsidise other parts of government policy. but it does mean the public accepting some of these things, rather than maybe things like the lights going out next winter. if putin decides to turn off the gas next winter, we will have severe problems. i'm looking at the amounts of electricity we're producing at the moment from gas, an
