of the energy department's mission to promote a clean energy future. please join me in a warm national press club welcome for energy secretary jennifer granholm. [applause] sec'y granholm: madam president, thank you so much for that gracious and accurate introduction in terms of the challenges we are facing. i'm delighted to be here at the national press club. let me cut to the chase and start with a number two. 14.8 million jobs since january, 2021, the greatest number of jobs ever created under any president in american history, under any term of any president in american history. 353,000 jobs just last month. the longest continuous stretch of unemployment under 4% in 50 years. more people working than at any point in american history, the strongest economic recovery of all major advanced economies. why is this happening? it is not coincidence. it is not luck. it is the result of a focused, strategic plan. the biden administration is using a 21st century industrial strategy to bring manufacturing back to america after years of off shoring to lift bru

use energy. we should have a nationwide gas supply or use other energies more like some other countries that the critics say are doing this like the rest of the countries that are doing this . instead of delivering gas fuel the supporters say that no, we are blessed with gas and we must have gas supply. this is the subject of our debate, we want to see basically which one of these energy delivery methods is more economical. basically , for these four or five percent who are almost left and have no energy, they do not use gas now, for example , gas supply should be done for them. let 's go to the other to the other to the other. i am pleased to welcome you as the energy companion of the special program . here in our studio, mr. daftarian, the chairman of the board of directors of the gas engineering association, is present as the opponent of nationwide gas supply and the other side of the debate, mr. montazer torbati, the former ceo of the national gas company and the former deputy minister of oil

and clean energy. giving communities rooftop solar to what we call disproportionately impacted communities is something we are looking at. that is a statutory term in colorado and making sure that we have a robust distribution grid so that we can build out to where those renewable resources are. one of the things we did in colorado that could be a model, we have enabled one of our utilities to build a system, in advance of actually having a generator. we can hook up those renewables to match up with the timing we have for need looking at both the distribution and transmission system will be key . >> thank you. interregional transmission is an important opportunity to better support our communities, so is supporting local clean energy products and micro grids. democrats delivered an historic $10.5 billion for resiliency, reliability, and flexibility projects. mr. hay, can you discuss how this funding will empower communities to develop micro grids and how it will promote reliability and resiliency? >> w

life as to little energy. so just these 2 facts limit the efficiency soul of sales to around 30 percent of the rent, according fission. see for silicon is already 26 percent. this now bang gap also waste energy in transistors. really hard for the smaller bank, a younger one mortgage. i knew a visitors, tools, but when electronics are moving into the many, the dealers are disagreed more heat. so this keep it'd be 100 percent when it says, so do we tell tech companies to start repainting their signs? because that efficiency problem is solvable materials with wide band gaps for electronics. those include gallium nitride, graphing silicon car, ride and gallium oxides. they level transistors to use more of their energy to perform calculations. they lose less heat and can handle over 10 times the voltage of silicon devices. they also operate at twice the maximum temperature of silica over $300.00 degrees celsius. because of this 5 been gap materials are already used in chargers for electric vehicles. even charges an

if more energy is applied, the electron goes past the next band, then it lose energy and comes back to extra energy, turns into heat and disperses through the material. the smaller the band gap, the more energy is lost as heat. so the con has a relatively small band gap, so it can be prone to overheating. if the electron doesn't have enough energy, it doesn't make it to the band and no electricity is generated. in solar panels, energy hits the pin on the form of sunlight. but the sun gets off many different types of lights, so not all of them can be absorbed efficiently by silica. blue light has too much energy and infrared life as to little actually or so just these 2 facts limit the efficiency sol, sales to around 30 percent of the rent a quarter of fission. see for silicon is already 26 percent. this now band gap, also waste energy in transistors, bending over the smaller banking jo, blue, one mortgage on your visitors tools. but when electronics, i'm moving into them ready to deal with this or disagreeing, more heat. so this keep it'd be 100 percent. what it says. so do we tell tec

mustafa saidi energy expert.e people are looking for demagoguery by raising the issue of justice in rural gas supply. the same thing happens in the case of industry and power plants. petrochemical or steel construction in a certain province for which gas cannot be supplied, a disadvantage for it has no people. private sector or government funds should not be wasted in such projects with the promise of job creation. ok. mr. daftari, mr. montazer torbati , they say that people cannot be kept waiting until alternative fuel comes , we will not wait at all to replace people's energy . see, we are at your service now. we don't want to delay . i gave you another example. we had a meeting with the research director of the ministry of energy . 3 months to produce 5 thousand megawatts of electricity for themselves. this is an established thing, that is , we don't delay anyone at all . we give the people much cleaner, more elegant energy with this offer that we have and it will be cheaper. you will see when we leave. go to

if more energy is applied, the electron goes past the next band, then it lose energy and comes back. the extra energy turns into heat and disperses through the material. the smaller the band gap, the more energy is lost as heat. so the current has a relatively small band gap, so it can be prone to overheating. if the electron doesn't have enough energy, it doesn't make you to the band and no electricity is generated in solar panels. energy hits the panel in the form of sunlight, but the sun gives off many different types of lights. so not all of them can be absorbed efficiently by silica blue light has too much energy and infrared life as too little. and so just phase to fax limits. the efficiency of soul sales to around 30 percent of the rent a quarter fission see for silicates already 26 percent. this now bang gap also waste energy in transistors. when the harvest, motor banker jo, blue, one board, which i never thought is to move. but when it goes on, moving into the details, dealers are disagreeing. want to keep. so this keep getting on behind the city boxes. so doing till tech c

needs , a comprehensive energy plan should be formulated and the country's energy portfolio should beersified. mahmoud essan, adviser to the former oil minister at the same time as the natural gas production capacity increases , the supply of gas to the power plant industry and industrial units with the aim of limiting their fuel consumption should be increased because the thermal energy of each cubic meter of gas. natural is equal to one liter of petroleum products such as diesel, which, while being affordable , also reduces environmental pollution. mostafa saeedi , an energy expert, some people seek demagoguery by raising the issue of justice in rural gas supply . the same thing happens in the case of industries and power plants. petrochemical or steel construction in a certain province for which gas cannot be provided kurds have no position for the people. private sector or government funds should not be wasted in such projects with the promise of job creation. well, you are a special companion of the higher election program, mr. daftarin, mr. montazer torbati, they say that people

, the so-called, which concerned specifically the generation of solar energy, wind energy, yeah, thenfactor in the development of the economy itself, the resources that today need to be invested in the economy, everyone understands perfectly well that without nuclear energy there will be no movement forward, that is, it is... more environmentally friendly, that’s right, this type of energy, it is powerful, environmentally friendly, it is understandable , and the most important thing, that is, it is absolutely clear how to train personnel to work with this energy, yeah, well, i must add that nuclear energy is sustainability, there is wind, there is no wind, nuclear energy, the nuclear plant is operating today, tomorrow and will work under proper conditions constantly, there is wind, there is no wind, now they are raising the question that our station, well, supposedly causes environmental damage, in fact, poland has entered into an agreement with the united states under their credit, they will build in this northern part , but note, in 2034, but we know perfectly well that our neighbor

i'm proud the energy committee is championing fusion energy, a clean, reliable energy source that mesh should pave the way. going forward it must be a significant component of america's energy profile and to make that happen we need to cut the red tape at the nuclear regulatory commission, expediting environmental reviews for nuclear reactors. time and time again, the environmental review process takes entirely reliable -- mr. pallone: i have no additional speakers and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from south carolina is recognized. mr. duncan: i'd like to yield 1 1/2 minutes to dr. joyce. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. duncan: i thank the chairman for yielding. madam speaker, pennsylvania has a long and proud history of developing energy innovation from the first oil well in 1859 to leading the way on natural gas development and to westinghouse, developing nuclear energy in the 1950's. the commonwealth of pennsylvania has been a leader in producing the power that americans and the entire world rely on to keep their homes warm and their re

yes. cost of energy for wholesalers? yes, es. that cost of energy for wholesalers?ergy for wholesalers? yes, yes- that is the _ cost of energy for wholesalers? yes, yes. that is the burning _ cost of energy for wholesalers? yes yes. that is the burning question, right? what we can say is that we have seen wholesale prices fall considerably over the past 18 months or so. the peak in summer 2022 after russia first weaponised gas prices against europe. it is important to talk about how the uk is part of a wider interconnected energy and gas market, even a global market. since russia weaponised gas against europe what we have seen as non—russian supplies stay pretty strong. europe has done a really good job at decreasing its gas demand over the past couple of years, and that in some parts because of high prices killing off demand pretty much in all sectors. there has also been a structural shift in the way that we consume energy and that has been at the household level, at a national level and across the whole of the continent, really. at a household level it has been m

over other types of energy?00s there were some other options, a lot of attention was paid to so-called green energy, which concerned specifically the production of solar energy, wind energy, yeah, then taking into account the development factor of the economy itself, those resources which today it is necessary to invest in the economy, everyone understands perfectly well that without nuclear energy there will be no movement forward, that is, it is more environmentally friendly, right, this type of energy? it is powerful, environmentally friendly, it is understandable, and most importantly, that is, it is absolutely clear how to train personnel to work with this energy, yeah, well, i must add that nuclear energy is sustainability , there is wind, there is no wind, nuclear energy, nuclear power plant works today, will work tomorrow under proper conditions continuously, there is wind, there is no wind, there are hydrocarbon supplies, there are no supplies, yes, that also depends. well, even before all these events

energy at pace. are wind—powered, no energy is needed for their journey, meaning the whole process is much more sustainable. we're not using the energy to transport our energy, so, you know, it's a lossless system and so, we can transport a kilometre, ten kilometres, 1000 kilometres — it doesn't matter. it's hoped these boats could help bring green power to over 4 million people living on hundreds of islands across japan. the boats could also serve future floating projects like this one. floating islands, these things could be mobile. imagine these guys are workerhands and they're transporting constantly to the mothership. it has been fascinating to see how a technology as old as time — a simple sail — has been repurposed to deliver a sustainable energy solution. and it's going to be really interesting to see how it develops in years to come. a year ago, i visited choshi, on the other side of tokyo, to see japan's first bottom—fixed offshore wind turbine. the noise is really something else! it's actu

let's invest because those energies are now used by gas energy. let's see for everyone whether we will supply gas to the remaining 45 if the economy works or not. it is a debate but a problem that mr. defar pointed out and the numbers that he said with our tanks . it is not like this that they are decreasing let's think that the 5 percent is taken now, this matter goes back to all gas supplies, that is, with this trend , we had an increase in production in the future, despite the fact that we had an increase in production, we always had a problem with gas supply in moqatil sardastan, from now on, we will have a decrease in production. the third grade can calculate what will happen in seven, eight, 10 years. no, you don't have electricity , you don't have banks , you don't have internet, you don't have heating, you don't have cooling. we calculated for different years. if i were to show you my graph, you would see very clearly how our imbalance is reaching a point where there is no imbalance at all. it doesn't have gas at all. now, whether i bring

energy sector. do not be fooled. this is in fact a ban on lng exports and a gift to putin. our allies are desperately seeking america's energy to counteract the natural gas exports. instead of being the leader, the americans and the rest of the world need, he's being a puppet the far left activists won't. if president biden were serious about his green agenda he would unleash reliable american lng which has more of a life cycle than the russian. we should be solving questions and closing the southern border and aiding our ally israel. this white house needs to get their priorities in order, it's causing the american people to suffer. thank you, mr. speaker, and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from kentucky seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i'd ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman from kentucky is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, in 2011

why nuclear energy?ther sources, not only produces energy, but produces it. it was then that the institute of nuclear energy the belarusian academy of sciences pine trees and was specially created to develop such a station, which went down in history as the pamirs. it should have small, non-dimensional characteristics; preference was given to this project. the project was extremely complex, the nuclear mobile station was fundamentally different from the stationary ones. installation peace, a nuclear power reactor was created for the needs of the defense department of the soviet union, so that military units in hard-to-reach areas could receive energy, because it was almost impossible to deliver some modes of transport use regular fuel, these are defense interests. but the range of applications is wide, including for the needs of the national economy; a source is needed for remote areas that do not have energy sources, so it had to be delivered there somehow . at the same time, a new program for the use o

berlin is gripped by political paralysis and the energy crisis has hit businesses. bright colors, good mood and a lot of dancing. the famous carnival has started in brazil. belarus strengthens its presence in central asia. a very busy agenda and results of the official visit of our president to uzbekistan. from economics to the humanitarian sphere. the day before, the heads of state discussed the development of sports and tourism. alexander lukashenko and his colleague shavkat mirziyoyev visited the amersoy ski complex near tashkent, where in an informal setting they once again summed up the results of the past. negotiations , we compared plans for the future, the countries signed a program of cooperation in the sports field for 2 years, an action plan in tourism, agreed to assist each other in training athletes, with one of the emphasis on winter sports. alexander lukashenko got acquainted with the capabilities of the complex and tried out the ski slopes. i saw this beauty, now i will come here, i will be glad, alexander lukashenko had negotiations with the leader

so it's a very effective method for generating heat from electrical energy and then putting the energy to use them. it's outside once does it may be done by that symbol. but do these facilities make a long term financial sense? the new super sized one will cost 5 to 7000000 euros right now in germany. it would be cheaper to carry on using natural gas to generate steam, which is why the operator source has its own low price of electricity we might get from. but we want to buy energy directly from a nearby wind farm. and i'm going park, which would also be building a photovoltaic system on top of our new building building, which will allow me produce some $1.00 megawatts, the noise devoid of, of the alignment. and so our storage unit is ideal for photo voltag facilities for to talk number is not so this is owned by a e d r. and if operators don't have their own electricity supply, the still energy storage concept is only slowly getting off the ground. although demand in countries with a lot of industry is massive. yeah, they're just invest naina. see also a few available industry consume

energy consumers or for u.s. energy producers? let's look at the facts. according to most recent data over the last decade, u.s. gas consumption is up by about 26%. u.s. gas production is up about 50%. and u.s. gas exports are up 326%. 10 years ago, just 6% of all gas produced in the u.s. was for export. today more than 20% is for export. that's not because the industry is succeeding. they can't compete against cheaper renewable energy, and so they're trying to export. you all are helping them out. those export volumes are going to triple again just based on the stuff that's already permitted in the fightline. nothing to do with what's going on today. i'd like to remind my republican colleagues, because sometimes we need to remind this, even in this body where we write the laws, you cannot change the laws of supply and demand. when u.s. natural gas is exported overseas, it reduces the domestic supply and increases the price. and weapon this from recent -- and we know this from recent experience. when there was an explosion, according to the department of

energy companies spoke about the industry achievements of their companies and energy sectors.nd you know, this day turned out to be very special, as i said last time, we tried very hard for you, on this day more than 120,000 people visited the exhibition, this is a very high figure, this indicates a keen interest in our energy sectors, it is very pleasant that this arouses interest not only among professionals, but certainly among our society, among our citizens, because that energy really... today is one of the key sectors of the russian economy, over the past 20 years it has made a huge leap in its development, and i am certainly convinced that such economic growth, such merits that have been achieved in the field of energy in the last 20 years, were achieved thanks to the personal attention and attitude provided by the president... of our country vladimir vladimirovich putin, his constant attention to the energy sectors has allowed the industry to achieve maximum performance over the past 20 years, and today, if talking about numbers, in our industry it accounts for about 2

but allows the energy from the sun to be converted into a tricity. it's been transmitted to the dams power generation system through underwater cables. apparently it can be fed directly into the electrical grid that's already connected, that it's a hybrid system. so there's just some bluish warranty. there are 2 renewable energy sources and play hydro power and solar power whose ink was going to be there was generated together at the same time. and so i had gotten their energy is fed into the power grad at the same connection point. the hydro power plant alone doesn't fully exploit, the potential of the power lines is elastic as floating. so the power plant is expected to produce 7.5 gigabyte hours of electricity per year. enough to supply around 1500 families in portugal with green energy. any step to select tricity will be stored in bunk changes at the power plant to pick up the slack jane cloudy periods. the hydro electric power plant has been connected to the electrical great for a long time. and a floating soda pound has a low impact on the envi

does not mean that the power of the energy industry and energy workers will increase, i am just sayingsponsibly, why? because shelling continues, destruction continues, and i can simply state that it may be unpleasant for our viewers to hear the leadership of the state during these years of independence, there are 30 more. for 30 years, we have turned our state-of-the-art power plant into the most technological complex, it was on the best in the world in retro-energy, and every year we will have more problems and more equipment will break down, because today we are working in the energy industry in the amount of 100 billion, about 100 billion, we do not repair anything, we do not have e. there are no its rearmament, we do not have reconstruction, modernization, we, if we were to do it, are repairing in order to come winter, and unfortunately, i can still say this, here, here, here, the russian energy industry, especially the thermal energy industry, has already suffered from that situation , because they did the same thing, we have, as it were, more paid attention, but, but the situati

the reality is this: nuclear energy has no alternative in terms of its efficiency.ndoubtedly strengthened our energy security; it is one of the most large-scale, complex and technologically advanced projects that we are implementing together with russia. beloyas has already produced 25 billion hours of electricity, this is the first and second unit in total, the station has replaced almost 7 billion cubic meters of gas, again saving hundreds of millions of dollars on purchases of blue fuel. the project became a good stimulus for the growth of energy consumption in the country, both for the real sector of the economy and for the population, almost plus 7% over the year. modern multi-apartment electrohouses are being built; over the last 3 years, over a million square m2 have been put into operation. yes, blass works stably and pragmatically increases its capacity despite the once loud protests of our european neighbors, which we sometimes hear to this day. western politicians are speculating as best they can on the topic of the station’s safety, while not paying atte

from flexible solar panels to making energy while you walk. there's no shortage of ideas to help save our ailing planet. what do we really want to do is that we face energy for the customer and there's no shortage given investment either. this is the most interesting opportunity in the coming decades. $1.00 trillion dollars is expected to be invested this year in clean tech. the sector that sprung up to reduce our carbon emissions. but can these businesses really, really shape the future? is very good question. so yes, i decide every day to work. this is much easier as margins and he told us about his green business, a german company that's created clean tech software. the app helps people switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy. and it allows them to monitor how much electricity they're using. and when to use their devices to help save on their bills it can get cheaper, but it's a lot of fun for instance. and then it can also get more expensive and we want to shift the customer consumption to those times when is actually cheap. mathias i

what is causing energy bills to come down?— what is causing energy bills to come down?er of the wholesale _ come down? the general driver of the wholesale prices - of the wholesale prices falling, so wholesale cost is the cost of gas or electricity itself, ratherthan the cost of gas or electricity itself, rather than say for example the cost of the wires for transmitting electricity and the pylon towers or the pipes the gas users. they were also what will push prices up so high last year. in the uk, if there hadn't been government intervention, the annual bill, the price would have gone to £4000 a year. we anticipate that today, shortly, ofgem will be announcing a figure over £1500 a year, so that is quite a difference.— £1500 a year, so that is quite a difference. 0k, and why are ou a difference. 0k, and why are you predicting _ a difference. 0k, and why are you predicting a _ a difference. 0k, and why are you predicting a 1496 - a difference. 0k, and why are you predicting a 1496 fall- a difference. 0k, and why are you predicting a 1496 fall on i you predicting a 14%

one renewable energy because electricity prices are skyrocketing, they want renewable energy and solar and then a business that's assuming people are buying it. so of course it's going to continue hit by the germany has seen more solar systems installed in the past year than ever before. solar energy already supplies around 12 percent of the countries like tricity needs, and what consumers are benefiting from the boom. there is a downside. around 90 percent of solar panels are imported from china. does that bother consumers? the main thing is that it looks nice and it has to work a thought. secondly, if 90 percent of solar panels come from china, it's important to know how durable the products are. test done by to vineland indicates that china is products meet the minimum technical requirements. if i could just kind of wanted to see that it makes no difference whether the panels originated from a country in the far east or from the european or american continental economist punch and install meyer burger is one of the few solar panel manufacturers in germany that can survive the tough

because the region is still looking for new sources of energy. if you see me, we have a very large chemical industry. we have a very large steel industry and we've gone up with industry. and therefore, as part of a gene was always done by the fact that we are an industrial region and the chance to make this technology this industry green now is a great opportunity for us as great potential. they're developing technologies that can use hydrogen as a power source for german industry and consume there's some on such a, grew up in the roy area tend to always want you to work on renewable energy sources like hydrogen, fuel cells. otherwise, we can use it to achieve emissions, free electricity generation on one and defy can be positive driving this hydrogen production forward. then i'll be extremely proud of myself, but software. over the next few years, the roar valley will be uniquely positioned to gain from germany's push towards hydrogen, because a lot of the infrastructure is already in place. the region will connect into a hydrogen grid, because

this also in this week show the energy transition. new technology is to help the climates, the solar industry. there's competition and candidate plans on the road to success between industry that leads phasing out over the next few decades. the global fossil fuel industry is going to change and with a new opportunities, jobs, and even levels of preston parity with the rise. but for one region in germany, the transition is most critical is and if i can contribute to driving these types of turn in production, i'll be extremely proud of myself. and if it doesn't work in the region, it won't work anywhere under the rule or valley used to be germany's industrial power house with its coal mines and steel manufacturing. the region is located in germany's far west, close to the netherlands and belgium sections. so it says i used to be a coal mine, but operations ended in the late 19 eighties. now it houses a museum, as well as offices for tech companies, a. let's see what's happening here is preservation through conversion and transformation

the solar impulse aircraft only consumes around the same amount of energy. it takes to power a motor scooter, though it weighs as much as a car and has a wing span as wide as a boeing 747, a glide should the air at a snail's pace, just 75 kilometers per hour on the plane at the store enough energy during the day so that it wouldn't crash at night. the seal to get to that good when it comes to how much energy can be provided. just remember that a single square meter of paneling is enough to power a hair dryer. is this, we have 200 square meters, so the power of $200.00 hair dryers that the sun puts at our disposal on this at $8112.00 days after the start of the journey. the biggest hurdle away to the flight across the pacific. 7000 kilometers, driven only by the energy of the sun. 3 o 2.2, all the way from all of the way we shoot all the best and up sort of degrade slides . i really move the 12 hours into the flight horsberg and the team performed the last safety check. from this point on over the pacific, there is no turning back. and with the check comes of
