was a market-driven response to lower natural gas prices that have made natural gas generation more economically attractive." between 2000 and 2008, coal was significantly less expensive than natural gas. however, beginning in 2009, large amounts of natural gas produced from shale formations change the balance. while the cost of coal has risen by 10% since 2008, the cost of natural gas has fallen by more than 60%. for a power producer considering new generation capacity, the lifetime cost of electricity from a new coal-fired power plant is 67% higher than from a new natural gas power plant and 17% from a newly constructed wind farm, according to the national academy of sciences. the reason no one is building coal-fired power plants is very clear: it is the free market. coal cannot compete in the free market. in 2016, we added more than 14,000 new megawatts of solar. we're going to add 7,000 to 8,000 new megawatts of wind. we're going to add nearly 9,000 new megawatts of natural gas, and we added virtually no new megawatts of coal-fired generation in our country. and we're projected

let's report the gas. methane emissions have decreased by 38% in the last 10 years while gas production on federal lands has increased by 33%. believe it or not, this reduction was done through voluntary action on behalf of the industry in capturing and utilizing this asset. even in my home state of california, oil and gas industry has created a tremendous opportunity for our work force. a recent report shows that total contributions from oil and gas in california in 2013 resulted in the creation of 455,000 jobs and $72 billion in value added to the state economy. approximately 3.4% of state g.d.p. indeed, no small numbers when the state of california is in big trouble fiscally as it per sues more things like high-speed rail and other nonsense. stifling this economic driver in this state will make us more reliant on energy frun stable regions of the globe. and the higher costs to consumers at home and in their workplace. furthermore, the b.l.m. claims it has authority under existing law to regulate oil and

oil and gas revenues make up a third of our budget. it's been this way for decades upon decades and we won't change it overnight, but we must continue diversifying our economy and restraining the size of government. when sequestration hit, we got an up close look at what can happen when we are too reliant on federal government spending. and now we're seeing it with oil and gas. oil prices dropped 71%. that hit us hard and our highest energy producing country, gross tax revenue plummeted. at the same time, grt rose in every other county. we lost over 11,000 oil and gas jobs. despite those losses, we added 30,000 private sector jobs. that's a direct result of choosing reforms. jobs in manufacturing, high-tech, finance, tourism, make no mistake about it, we are diversifying our economy and laying a strong foundation for private sector growth.

at british gas we've got some great news for our at british gas we've got some great news for oui’ customersat news for our customers... there has been good news from british gas recently, they are freezing its standard tariffs until august, it has even launched a loyalty scheme. it hopes that will stop customers leaving, one of the reasons why its profits have been hit. in 2016, british gas made £553 million. that was down 11% on the previous year. it says that is because it lost 4009000 customer accounts as households switched to other suppliers. the reason it's down is because of competitive intensity. we lost customers in the first half of last year. the pricing pressure has resulted in a reduction in margins in general and there have been other cost pressures coming into the system. a price cap to protect customers on prepayment meters will cost the firm £53 million this year. but that did not prevent the criticism of the level of costs. we have vulnerable consumers paying too much. older people and lower income people. it underlines it again, the energy market isn't working for consume

it raises gas prices at home. that's why we need this for all the above, to protect america's national security interests by combatting corruption and secrecy all these oil companies at the table with them that has caused conflict and instability and violent extremist movements in africa and the middle east. nonstate actors benefit from trading natural resources in order to finance terrorist operations. despite all this, despite all this, mr. president, the republican-led house of representatives, as senator crapo said, voted yesterday to repeal this bipartisan initiative, an initiative that unless repealed holds big oil accountable and protects the american people. the senate republican leadership is following suit, a little ironic in light of the fact that canada trumped in almost every rally in state after state after state where he's campaigning talked about draining the swamp. since the rule's creation exxonmobil led by mr. tillerson, now secretary of state and big oil licenses like the u.s. oil petroleum ins

we depend on coal, natural gas, on nuclear power for the majority of our energy. the only thing i have said that i believe we should be developing the renewable also. if you believe that is going to rule the country and the energy you use every day tell me what four hours of the day do you want your electricity to work? what four hours a day do you want to heat your home? tell me what. that is the fact. if you don't like it, let's continue to work to make it better. don't just put our head in the sand and say i will have whatever and this will work fine. i have no fasa. i am sorry the world doesn't work that way. this country doesn't operate. your light switch doesn't work that way. so today once again i am standing on behalf of west virginians and common sense people to ask colleagues to hear out the voice and vote in support of this resolution that gets rid of these overreaching duplicative rules that do something to create the fabric and wellbeing of the community. >> mr. president? >> senator from north dakota. >> thank you, mr. president. i think us all under

is that going to increase the gas by 20%? it will probably not take your gas prices directly. they will go up a little bit because there will be higher demand for certain things because of the tax changes but it wasn't your food prices. your telephone and televisions. your car prices. they -- car prices could rise as much as 15%. if you decide that is worth it, let's be very clear it will not hit gas. it will hit things that people buy. against raising gas and oil until recently. >> good morning. a hurrah to grover for what he is done with the political status in washington. we need to maintain them. in the south we have a saying. don't get above your raising. the border,s to then we can get on with make america great again. until then we have to come together as a people. america first and then we can help the rest of the country. family and tell anyone else until i help myself. but stop trying to have what we can't afford. when we do that we rein in the dollar. in the control of the taxation. .ntil then >> the tax cuts that was just passed in tennessee will make tennessee a

that's a war on coal, what natural gas is doing, what wind and solar is doing. but the reality is they're losing it in the marketplace. adam smith is swinging in his grave -- is spinning in his grave, so quickly, by the way, he would actually qualify as a new source of energy. as he looks at this republican complaint that the free market is killing coal. it's a war. it's capitalism, actually, and it's working. and so the only way they can stop it, the only way they can slow it down is to get somebody like scott pruitt to be the new head of the environmental protection agency. so this isn't a conspiracy. it's actually a competition. and the competition for those clean energy jobs is global. now, back in the 1990's, i was the author of a law that moved over 200 megahertz of spectrum. in 1993 in america, the average phone that was wireless was the size of a brick. it looked like the phone that gordon gekko had in wall street, that movie. people didn't have one. it cost 50 cents a minute. 1993. but then i was able to move over 200 megahertz of spectrum in 1993, and
