natural gas prices will be facing resistance. down trend dating back to june 2014, represents a ceiling at 225. can you see the ceiling right here. two mid-2015 swings high. bringing in a resistance level at 310. that's about as high as it gets. in short, natural gas can rally another 20 cents from here, but then garner thinks a reversal to the down side. it can break out at 3 per million or btu's, garner says this would be more likely more than the bulls can handle. especially when you combine them with the already over bought nature of the commodity. throw in that nat gas almost always peaks near the end of june. it's an interesting setup, isn't it? >> here you can see that natural gas has been roaring, it's very simple as part of an expanding trading range pattern. garner says this very pattern suggests the commodity will turn less than 10 cents above where it's trading right now. this natural gas rally is going to run out of steam sooner than later. maybe you take a look at chess peak. maybe that's too high. what happens if t

natural gas oil and gas know they are in a lease. from the standpoint of water contamination, there is no way to ensure with any degree of reliability you are going to preserve underground drinking water. there is no way to do that according to the industry's own science. i would be happy to give evidence that shows 8% of all oil and gas leaked upon drilling, and over a 30 year period, 60% begin to leak. the well casings themselves, the drill pipe, is surrounded by cement. an inch of cement. it can get brittle over time. nothing with fans temperature changes down there, and it is not a way of creating steel around this. so the position of water contamination, it is not possible to regulate. the other problem with respect to climate is that so much of the natural gas infrastructure is leaking right now. you have cities leaking in huge percentage rates. you have 2% in new york city, 5% washington, d.c., 4% boston. the frack gas process leaks a lot of methane in the delivery and down stream phases, downstream and delivery phases. i thin

natural gas is 100 times more damaging a greenhouse gas, heat trapping gas, than co2 in a 70-year period, which makes it particularly dangerous. to keep seem to be able it from leaking no matter how hard we try and where we try to do it. we thought weins were making by transitioning to natural gas have basically exploded in our faces. accidenthink it is any climate change is -- has accelerated much beyond what many of our climate scientists were saying, while at the same time we were building out this night -- giant natural gas infrastructure. the matter of fact is we don't need natural gas. scientists tell us we have to keep 80% of our carbon in the ground. we also have a technologically -- cap technologically advanced to such a point we can leapfrog over natural gas. we can hang glide to the future instead of carrying natural gas is a bridge. which leads me to new york and why new york is such an important example of how to wage this coming struggle. in new york, we had the promise of natural gas. this was during the natural gas boom when there was scant information on how bad natural

because the natural gas industry and regulators believe that natural gas was only a problem if you're within a few hundred feet. well, we've experienced with this multibillion cubic foot leak is 7,000 families evacuated from an area in a five-mile radius because the volatile organic compounds in that natural gas caused enormous health problems. that's why the -- i went to the president of the united states and the vice president at the caucus that we attended and got a public commitment that we would get regulations probably this year. this legislation is important because it makes it clear that while phmsa has the regulatory authority to act, if they don't act, they are required to act within two years under this legislation. i'm pleased to say this legislation has a provision that i championed from the beginning and that is to clarify that a state can adopt tougher standards than whatever the federal government adopts. the legislation also officially establishes the department of energy aliso canyon natural gas task force. that task force is already up and running. we're working wit

this year natural gas will surpass coal. this seed change is having some major implications for the stock market because very few people saw it coming. sure, we figured natural gas would naturally surpass it over time. we just didn't see it happening now. last year 33% of our country's power generation came from coal. 33% natural gas, another 20% from nuclear. 6% from hydro electric. you recall coal produced 39% of the power. we've seen how this has wreaked havoc. it is crushed the earnings and required them on make massive cutbacks. we've seen how it has practically destroyed the coal industry. only a few years ago these coal industries with riding high. now most have filed for bankruptcy. we knew the average life of a coal plan would run 40 years and most were built under jimmy carter. so those all are too worn out the retrofit or cost too much money to bring them into line with environmental standards. even though coal handle hammered, the one thing we haven't seen is the price of natural gas actually rally. $2, the level

we don't often hear about gas, tear gas, being used in an attack. what do you make of that? >> the reason you don't hear that is tear gas is actually a canister or a pellet that's pumped into a location. normally you would not do it while civilians or hostages are potentially in there. you would use it in a barricaded subject, and the second aspect of tear gas is it's also considered an incendiary device because it's like a flair. the flair creates smoke. the smoke carries the irritant. in the united states, sffor example, if you use tear gas, it may cause a fire and i can't imagine they would pump tear goose into a theater complex or a mall complex with the extreme risk of fire that would be there for doing it. >> tom fuentes, stand by. i think we have new information coming in from jim sciutto who joins us from washington right now. jim, what can you tell us about the ongoing operation to get whoever this person was behind these attacks. >> two points. this is coming from u.s. officials who, keep in mind, have a very close relationship with their german counterparts. one,

so we really need to get off of natural gas. it's not a bridge, bridge, it's actually bridge to nowhere. it's a bigger threat to our global climate. what upsets me so much is the idea that we would be building another 40 years of this infrastructure. the banks are literally investing and learning billions of dollars to build all of this infrastructure that is going to last for decades, that is why we know it is not a bridge fuel. this is just an excuse in a way to buy people into it. we need need to stand up and say no. it is a bridge to nowhere. one more question. >> i came in late as well. so in terms of you talk about the methane can you talk about the oil subsidies in the control they have. what can we do locally, what can we tap into to raise the awareness because as you know the power vacuum owns the media. big oil, coke brothers and you go on and on but they keep getting the subsidies and that's not moving towards renewable so that's one piece of it. plus they don't want to get out even though we all know in 30 years they
