when we talk about clean energy and clean energy is beginning to apply a prior to place. and of course, sorta. we know that the motor, oh, cool, prides itself. do have one of the largest solar funds anyway, the was and is moving in the direction of ensuring that solar power is a prime move uh, as africa moves in the direction of industrialization. and i'm not sure, therefore, we are dealing with energy and africa on the time when there are many questions that are being lost and ought to be honest about us. because the bus to, to industrialize an energy cannot be talked of about in a vacuum, it must be dropped off in the context of giving us the opportunity to give practical meaning. the things that africa is impressed, the didn't do it. and also, as it is now, is driven by several agendas of cost. the overall agenda is also got print to $63.00, who's design is to ensure that africa becomes a prime. yeah. in the world that has how is a give context in terms of energy generation? the question that we want to talk about is this. how are we buying to ensure that the continent

new energy diplomacy is needed based on this energy strength. not only has he was diplomacy not caught up with this leadership -- has this diplomacy not caught up with this leadership, -- many people are still more than the old time period that once again started 10 years ago in terms of shifting and they're still thinking about that and diplomacy needs to change as a result. so how did this happen? how did the u.s. go from the weakest power in the world when it came to energy posture to the strongest? that is a stunning shift. how did that happen? in my view there were three drivers. the first one was significant energy technology advances. if you look at what's being deployed today pretty much across the board in all the different energy types, 20 years ago it did not exist. it was not commercial. what are some of the inventions that took place? 3d seismic imaging, high-performance imaging and analysis -- solar pdb -- pv did not exist. when i was under secretary we won the nobel prize and i went to the swedish event on the celebration of innov

new energy diplomacy is needed based on this energy strength. not only has u.s. diplomacy not caught up with this leadership, the united states and many people in the policy area haven't grasped that power. many people are still moored in the old time period that, once again, it started ten years ago in terms of shifting, and are still thinking about that. diplomacy needs to change as a result of that. so how did this happen? how did we -- how did the u.s. go from the weakest power in the world when it came to energy posture to the strongest? that's a stunning shift. how did that happen? in my view, there were three drivers associated with that. the trigger, the first one, was significant energy technology advances. if you look at what's being deployed today, pretty much across the board in all the different energy types, in the last generation -- a generation ago, 20 years ago, it did not exist. it was not commercial. so what are some of the inventions that took place? 3d seismic energy, analysis of data, hydraulic drilling, the lithium-ion battery was a science

we're energy rich. we share a respect for nature and the environment, and the innovative spirit to responsibly and sustainably develop all of these resources. together, our two countries do have an abundance of these resources, and by working together, we can enhance our economic prosperity and our national security. i would like to now introduce heather purot, director of energy, natural resources, the environment, anything else? at the mcdonald institute. heather, please. [ applause ] >> good morning. for hosting us what i know it's been a very busy week for you and for your >> well, thanks so much for those very wise words, brigham, and for hosting us in what i know has been a very busy week for you and your country. but as brigham said, we set this in motion -- he chose the date, i had to remind him of that a few times this week. but great to be here in d.c. we've been planning this and brigham is always showing me how warm it is and all the t-shirts and shirts he's wearing, and i'm showing him the

energy sector in the world. i think especially the lunchtime panel hammer that home in ways that i think some of us were blown out of our seats thinking about how strong the relationship has been in terms of output and production. i want to talk about how can we grow that output and production by thinking about aligning our policy but also the intent behind our policy to grow that. i will put the question to the panel. in order to realize this, tom put it earlier, the building of the arsenal of energy for democracy. what kind of things do we need to do that canada and the united states need to do, to align our energy and climate policy across the border? steve, i will start with you. >> thank you, and thanks everybody for the invitation. having been in the other washington as we call it, in seattle, i wanted to do an introduction about our organization and what we represent. i've worked with state legislators from western provinces of canada, the yukon, and in the united states, montana, oregon, alaska. 10 juris

you will see energy markets, more energy prices. so how far we have come going to the energy abundance mindset, the u.s. now has a hand where we can enforce these sanctions on iran. but it has also been russian lng. think back probably 10, 15 years ago, we would not be in that position where we would want to be hitting at russian lng. because of the impact of global and domestic prices. >> our prices have been more stable because of that energy abundance. it is a real tremendous advantage for us globally. >> which i think iran sanctions in 2010 or the push for it, that element of at the point thinking losing one maryland -- one million barrels a day would be so detrimental to the global economy. the element of the shale resolution -- revolution, it has been a game changer. i think when we think about enforcement, one thought is the policy choices that have been made have meant if anything, the trade with some of these countries has gone underground. but in the sense of intermediaries, involvement in shipping and financial networks,

and has led to job in america is energy and jobs report found clean energy .5 million americans jobs clean energy really the overall economy abilities continue to expand. we'll industrial manufacturing policies like the credit provide long-term for companies to make significant investments in manufacturing. ineffective two years ago, 42 factories built expanded representing 35 billion 119 factories. this just two years. that's huge and will support 100,000 manufacturing jobs nationwide. this is an economic boom similar to what some of you may remember in the 80s when auto manufacturing set up in the united states. one difference here happening at the start paste. it is for faster deployment. clean energy in all areas of our country existed rural, urban, red, blue and purple and it should because it's eating our collective language regardless of geography and party affiliation. it is reliable and clean. we know there is a huge opportunity for electric demand stemming from electrification, ev growth and spatially he he or put another way, their mood from 3.76 over 11%. what needs to be

by moving over to a 100 percent clean energy decentralized, we can make energy big switches, and we can bring those work under the line of poverty over that line. a green society would be an economy that has smart grid that has storage available to all renewable energy generation. sources would also be society in which there is efficient and clean transport. passenger vehicles would offer transport as a service, not being a possession of any individual. and heavy time would be using clean seals and finally, city would be clean wyatt because the would have put the internal combustion engine into them. and cities would be organized into smaller communities, around food and enters at the beginning of the most decisive decade in the history of human kind. this was all of us to understand that this has been challenging and will continue to be challenging. but we can do that, we can address climate change in a timely fashion. we can avert the worst just after supply of change. and in so doing, we can bring a much better quality of life for oil citizens of this planet. and certainly to the eco

, the hierarchy, energy security, energy prices, right, nuclear, this, that, it and digitizes or they look at nuclear as we need baseload, we can do it at the right price, and we are less exposed to global markets and global national security risks, so it is very high on their agenda where myself and my colleagues, we would go to poland and romania and talk about how can we facilitate nuclear and that is the great country, too, so i think there is plenty of opportunity because europe is asked to be on the agenda. two i, everyone. [applause] awesome. yup. wow. that was quite a speech. knowing paul, i thought we could leverage him after lunch and people would not fall asleep after they had had their lunch, so i hope -- i don't think he disappointed in that regard. thank you all and welcome back. our next panel, third panel, is pragmatic strategies for decarbonization. you will notice i have several nuclear, or as our old boss used to say, nuclear, up here. let me introduce the panel. we will get right into it. the closest to me is robert as land senior vice president of policy, business

a key energy mineral. can you tell us a little bit more about the minds that are involved in there, ramp up that we may potentially see that we are trying to see in the demand that you and your producers have seen in the last two years? >> it has always been exciting to participate in the industry. in terms of its economic importance, it economic position , energy security position and of course being indigenous. someone asked me the other day why did i choose that industry to have kind of a meaningful employment. i said, you know, where i came from, you know, i was impacted by two forms of energy. i live downstream from a hydro dam. clean renewable energy. to my rights as a run-up to the river operation. i have an employer, a mining employer employing 50-60 people for my small 1600 the polish community. providing economic. they just kind of have that objective balance due and indigenous. i chose that because it was an incredible employer of indigenous people. i work for a chemical corporation industry-lea

if the energy is hard. i would specifically work on fusion energy but i worked in solar energy graduate school and geothermal energy for years after that and i am again today. i don't care where energy comes from its assessed to be affordable reliable and help lift you have a poverty. that's what should matter. it isn't going well but what about climate climate change? maybe that's just the price we got to pay. you look at the date of the biggest gerrit today is extreme weather. 23% of kids report having nightmares about climate change. 20%. does anybody know last year was the lowest recorded hurricane around the globe ever? 42 years of data and in the climate change report there's no meaningful trend in hurricanes tornadoes floods droughts. tornadoes we don't know why you're going down. a slightly warmer world is a slightly wetter world but you never hear this stuff. politicians the media in our schools and in the corporate movement this is a crisis. the icc see opened in economic analysis. a yale professo

-canada energy policy, looking at regulatory reform and energy security and potential goals of the new trump administration. it is hosted by the hudson institute. >> good morning, ladies and gentlemen. we are going to go ahead and get started here. wonderful. good morning and welcome. i am brigham, one of the senior fellows here at the hudson institute and director of the initiative on american energy security. hudson is a research organization promoting american leadership for a secure free and prosperous future. since 1961, we have been challenging conventional thinking, helping to manage the -- strategic transitions through entered disciplinary studies and defense, international relations, economics, energy, technology, culture, and lot. hudson seeks to guide policymakers and global leaders in government and business. throughout our recommendations, we hope to make a difference and believe we have. we are thrilled to have you join us today for the north american energy preeminence forum. co-hosted by our friends at the macdonald laurier institute in canada. thank you to those in the

he talks through the hydrogen for use for energy. and the option at the moment is just straight at top spear, so your re diverting. yeah. that when the d dental hygiene office, right? yeah. storing and storing hard when it's transported by trailer and used all over or some in domestic heating but mostly in commercial vehicles. and ferries, in the trailers the hydrogen is stored under pressure at a $184.00 times it's original density. that's a lot of energy. i'm meeting with james ferguson, a specialist in hydrogen storage. the highly inflammable gas is locked away in compounds and the key sites. yeah. oh wow. oh gosh. so one of the big advantages of hydrogen is that is a, is a kind of option for seasonal energy storage. and that's when we want to store a lot of energy over months. so we know the in the u. k during the winter is very blue. it's very windy. if we go to a wind turbine based energy system, we're going to have a lot more generated in the winter then we need. and so we can capture that and store it in the form of hydrogen,

again, if we are talking about energy, energy's economy, energy is national security, talking to a colleague before about the intersection of business and politics in iraq has been very complicated. i would add to that that it is geopolitics also very complicated in iraq in the energy sector. turning to matt, i hope you give us the bigger picture of where iraq's energy is seeing fits in the geopolitics. i would just like to ask you what you see as the greatest challenges for the energy future including the iranian influence, iraq's evolving relationship with the united states and of course baghdad's continuing challenging with the bill. >> yes, thank you so much for having me. i think all of the speakers here today many of whom i already know discussed many of the opportunities that iraq affords. there is no questioning that that is the case. i say what i'm going to say in terms of the challenges comes with the caveat that i represent a company that is the largest private investor in iraq. despite the challenges that i will describe, we have expanded our presence in iraq over the last year w

who will make america energy dominant? again. who will make america energy dominant?od but if that is 4 p.m. in dc, how about one more time loud enough to wake up joe biden, who will make america energy dominant. that's right because when donald trump unleashes american energy we unleash american prosperity and ensure national security. serving as governor with donald trump is like having a beautiful breeze at our back. he cut taxes and red tape serving as governor under president biden has been leica gale force wind in our face. biden's war on energy hurts every american because the cost of energy is in everything we use or touch every day. biden's red tape is raised the price of a gas in your car, the cost of the food on your table, clothes on your back and even raised your rent. biden's green agenda feels like it was written by china, russia, and iran. let's look at biden's ev mandates. where do nearly all the batteries and rare earth minerals come from? china. the day biden halted permits for clean us natural gas export facilities, just think about the party they

we must deal with the energy problem on a war footing." the last that i'll read, "when we enter the moral equivalent of war, mr. president, don't issue us bb guns." these 10 days confirmed my belief in the decency and the strength and the wisdom of the american people, but it also bore out some of my longstanding concerns about our nation's underlying problems. i know, of course, being president, that government actions and legislation can be very important. that's why i've worked hard to put my campaign promises into law-and i have to admit, with just mixed success. but after listening to the american people i have been reminded again that all the legislation in the world can't fix what's wrong with america. so, i want to speak to you first tonight about a subject even more serious than energy or inflation. i want to talk to you right now about a fundamental threat to american democracy. i do not mean our political and civil liberties. they will endure. and i do not refer to the outward strength of america, a nation that is at peace tonig

production, energy export, it also just in general in the mix of energy we have. we have a really clean great overall compared to many countries. a good mix of energy. but i think one thing we could -- and foster technological innovation. i think that and i think a previous broker -- speakers spoke to how powerful it was for the last decade of the u.s., how it changed the game on energy globally. the other point is we have a few obstacles in our way to achieve this. the first is regulatory. i think in canada when you talk about energy policy the first thing you hear, especially ceos that i represent is, it takes too long. the regulatory regime is not agile enough, is not conceived in the way we need to move fast. so, we need a new seriousness on policy to bring public policy at the speed where it needs to be in order to advance economic growth, innovation, and productivity. the second is for innovation to happen i really think that from a canadian part we need to ramp up the science, technology architecture the same way the u.s. has done, for example, with the dar

it's never been easier to switch to solar energy . the, [000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the dimension causes terrible suffering for those affected and is an enormous burden for their relatives. caring for people with dementia involves special efforts. what environment is best for them? a place to feel safe. in 15 minutes on d w. d w, travel low, where the side 3 food gone is with inside a just local high life. wow. let's go. here we go. all right, so when it comes to sustain dependency information and try and do that when you travel, you can have it all expected to have to check the bags. so you're planning a trip. make sure you miss nothing about is on the w travel. i hope you enjoy the trip here as much as i did. what about you? with your opinion? feel free to write your thoughts and the comments surrounded. oak trees and they use by day, by night and over the full season. natives, res, adaptive living. see to your it's of trees golf. jenny reset on dw, the deep in the rain forest of fringe kiana. the french foreign legion is on

it's because energy is hard. i went to mit when i was young to work on fusion energy. ifi worked in solar energy in graduate school. i worked in geothermal after i that. i don't care where energy comes from. it must be affordable, reliable, and lift humans out of poverty. it's not going well maybe that's the price we have to pay. the biggest narrative is extreme weather. 20% of kids report having nightmares about climate change. does anyone know the lowest recorded hurricanes around the glob in the climate change reports there is no meaningful trend in hurricanes, tornadoes floods and droughts. we don't know why theyon are going down. slightly warmer world and wetter world.ly you never hear this from politicians and in our school. this is a crisis around theyne do economic analysis. you never hear thebl summery of the workit either. it's one degree from a 50% increase and at the current rate we warmup towards the end of the century. a wide range of economic analysis. who knows what the world will be in 80 years. it's a projected impact rain between 0.2%. also 2% reduct

fuels like the international energy agency . so you were getting pretty good at bringing renewable energy sources online fast . but if we could move the electricity to where it needs to be, all that new clean energy becomes less useful. there are some groups trying to figure out how we could connect the grids of every country on us. the idea would be to increase regional connections, enough to eventually create a super create a global network of interconnect is that would let us send electricity to wherever it needs to go. and there's very few better places that australia, when it comes to sol, solved cables and straddling in company that was phones with the purpose of taking as fairly, as a bonded weed and sold race, souls, styles out of pocket region. that's trogie escape up. remember david griffin, the guy from the beginning until last year, she says on the executive leadership team of his company, some people in the scale of his company's plan was almost beyond belief. the idea was to build a 20 gigawatt solar farm on a mass

mentioned, energy is the economy. energy is national security. and i was talking to a colleague before. talking about the intersection of business and politics in lack, of being very complicated. i would add to that, that its geo politics is important in iraq and the energy sector. so turning to matt, you know, help you give us the bigger picture of where iraq's energy scene fits in the geo politics. so with that, i would like to ask you, what you see is the greatest challenge for act's energy future. this includes iranian influence. iraq's involvement in the united states. and of course, baghdad's continuing challenge. >> yes. thanks so much for having me. i think all the speakers here today, whom i already know, discussed many of the opportunities that iraq affords. and there's no question that's the case. and i say what i'm going to say, in terms of the challenge that iraq faces, comes with the caveat that i represent a company that is the largest private u.s. investor in iraq. and despite the challenges that i'll describe, we've expanded our

the benefits of green energy are becoming clear that i really feel like renewable energy should be for all. but fossil fuels is only for a select few, and it's only for the select few that really want to fuel those pockets with their self interest and why they're doing it for. and it's really important that we start to look at policies and things for the future that benefit all and not just a promising step forward. but it remains to be seen if the support for disadvantaged communities and clean energy production will continue after january. the the young woman not easily a wait, but it's no visit by neighbors or relatives shalom canyons. the indian m would you have an order with a customer to, to so the technicians installed a sort of more to here a little while ago. now the light bulbs of flickering probably due to the intimate flow of electricity. we have to find out where the problem lies. the job gives them new prospects of good some money from the, from the system, like to is. so then they what says enabled us, that we have really, really limited the, this process of for you to t

we're at a world of energy addition. we've got one energy source that's ever been phased out, and that's whale oil. everything else is on top of everything else. so, yeah. >> rachel? >> i think your point on unintended consequences and on this sort of question mark of, like, needing to revisit the strategy and goal, and that's relevant, i think, also to this question mark about sanctions enforcement. one of the question marks, i think, here, though, is, you know, on the additive piece, i think is an important one. and in general -- i mean, looking at the landscape right now, things kind of move slow. when there's a real national security imperative, i think the events of the last several years show us that some countries at least can move fast. lisa highlighted germany. i think, also, we have seen investors move fast in the u.s. when there were sort of incentives to pull in capital and there's going to be questions of which part of those incentives and the pulling will survive, what are the areas of focus. but from a bus

energy productions.rgy cleaner starter saved her than everyone else in the world. and if you shut down the u.s. energy the way they are trying to shut it down what happens? you know who produces more? iran, russia, venezuela, those three right there all in one conflict proxy wars with iran and russia and you know what they do with their increase revenue under joe biden oil production is down. when they had the money from selling on it president trump had iran almost bankrupt yet sanctions actually work. joe biden has lifted all of those. iran funds hezbollah, hamas, hoodies and all of us we get to listen about congress debating how much money it will give to our team. we don't need to fund both sides of the war if we are producing u.s. energy the environment would be cleaner and our adversaries would not have the money to fight wars against us. and to stick with the theme, the other thing it's complete craziness. and a whole bunch of agencies running around saying to electrify every car installed at home

energy production and i can tell is an energy producing states our nation produces energy cleaner, smarterter than anyone else in the world. [applause] if you shut down the u.s. energy they are trying to shut it down, you know what happens? june who produces more iran venezuela, where an proxy or with iran and russia. june with their their increased revenue oil production in north dakota's down preproduction in iran is way up. when they have that money from selling all of that, president trump head iran almost bankrupt he had sanctions it actually worked joe biden has lifted all of us are trying to back to the obama nuclear julie trying to negotiate with iran. iran hezbollah, hamas, houthi debating how much money were going to get to our team.ur we are paying for the other side joe biden's energy policy since russia's more their pay program for the funding both sides were overproducing u.s. energy the environment would be cleaner our adversaries would not have the money to fight wars against us. to stick with the theme it's complete craziness. they want everything to be electrified for the
