bring the gas to germany this price the dependency from russian gas in the future and it contradicts also the goals of the european union want to diversify their gas in parts of the future much more so donald trump who did have a point to then when he criticized europe the being too dependent on russian gas yeah you had a point here that's pretty much true especially if we see that the guests of manned decline in the future because of climate policy and also we have enough transit routes and liquefied natural gas indeed to go become more important in the future and here of course trump wants to sell the u.s. to the european market but of course it also competes with pipeline projects like north stream now you mentioned liquid gas and of course we know that the european commission president has just returned from a meeting with donald trump in the white house where he sort of implied that the e.u. would import a substantial amount of liquid gas from the united states so is that enough do you think for europe's energy supply to be less dependent on russia more stable for the future. we

and gas tax. are all examples of the government stepping in hoping to either promote a certain type of energy or discourage it and now is more households are utilizing solar energy surprisingly enough it's still an even close to being the majority just to be clear solar is not that still more expensive and with the institute for energy research says that according to the federal government's predictions even by the year two thousand and fifty seventy eight percent of the u.s. is electricity will likely still be made up of fossil fuels wind suffers from intermittency issues so there are certain. areas where niches a wind source can be very effective but in general you know there's only certain areas where the wind blows more than one point seven million solar energy systems are installed nationwide with a capacity of over forty gigawatts and solar energy industries association estimates that one megawatt of electricity can power one hundred sixty four homes so forty gigawatts is reportedly enough t

of natural gas. the commission essentially suggested that it's not going to take a look at the greenhouse gas emission. they're not going ask how it will be used or words coming from. again, i think that's violating both the natural gas act because we are required to take a look at all for stable impact on the environment and clearly climate change is a significant impact. secondly were required to take a look at the public interest and examine whether it's in the public interest. it's difficult to look at the public interest if you don't ask the question about what the emissions are going to be associated with pipeline. >> thank you. >> i would also agree that this is something we been thinking about for a long time but the d.c. circuit case was really a watershed moment in saying that we haven't properly considered the indirect impact of the pipeline and the only thing i would add is that we are currently looking taking a broad look at how we do our pipeline work and i think this is one of the most

it is gas on gas competition.the gas on gas competition, you go to a lot of people in asia, they don't have the indigenous gas supply that the u.s. and australia are endowed with. so they don't have that competition. lng have got to rely on coming in from another marketplace. china is a different market. china has gas on gas competition. it has indigenous supply, but it also has extremely expensive pipeline gas coming in from the west. and so some of the pricing in china, in fact lng is far more competitive now thanks to that pipeline. alix: how easy is it to sell right now? >> it is hard. it is hard to get long-term contracts. the short-term contracts have been competitive, because there has been a lot of easy supply in the market. new projects have started up and 's long-termt contracts have not kicked in, typically that's what you do. you have an amount of time from when you think you're going to start a project to when you actually had to deliver your first cargo under your long-term contract. that's because y

terrorist organization by several countries including the us and russia and carried out a major sarin gas attack in the tokyo underground now twenty three years ago. can usually use some we typically just because a cult is without a leader for some time that doesn't mean it ceases to exist. harder and his closest followers were hanged but the cult in japan is officially registered its on the terrorism watch list i don't rule out the possibility that the cold still has followed was in russia because here is a good breeding ground for the organization to find followers. visited moscow in one thousand nine hundred two and met with russian political and religious leaders of the cult founder went on a promotional campaign giving speeches at the country's top universities and spending millions of dollars this succeeded in attracting many followers in russia . there were numerous symptoms of errands and relative terms all the guards are going to board up we have and we try to try to help them and. also i think part of this trial which was held russia i did not actually go in the barents sea woul

gas from the u.s. is prohibitively expensive compared to gas piped direct from russia into germany peter i assume that one of the concerns president trump and maybe others is that with this second norge dream that not. germany but perhaps the whole of the e.u. would be more reliant upon russia but with regard to germany specifically i know that president trump said that fifty to seventy percent of germany's energy needs were being provided through this pipeline but some have said that that figure is way off what's the actual accurate detail. you say fifty to seventy i heard him on friday speaking in the u.k. by that it was up to eighty maybe ninety percent the actual amount when it comes to energy that comes from russia to the german system is nine percent that's according to angela merkel's main spokesperson stefan cybex he came out straight away when donald trump it said this the first time and said it's just not true when it comes to gas it's around thirty seven percent of the market but still certa

american natural gas. this has been a big trend forp. president tr he's really become the sort of salesman in chief, if you will, for american natural gas companies. the problem with that is, in europe, they know and, in germany, right now that american tural gas is more expensive after its sent over the atlantic in germanyhan russian gas and there is just not nearly enough of it. so thenc german cellor doesn't want to be overly dependent on russian gas, she doesn't want to be overly dependent on russia at all, she's in fact championed all the sanctions against russiabut she's pragmatic and feels from a business ferspective it's important to ensure the supply energy that germany gets from russia with this new pipeline. judy? >> woodruff: meanwhile, yamiche, the president surprised everybody on another point and that is after sayinthe lies need to step up defend spending to 2% of the gross national product, it should now be 4%. where is that coming from? >> he's playing to a domeic audience as much as inter

can export natural gas but russia is a big gas exploiter cutter's a big gas export or trump was in the middle east cutting deals trump is in finland meeting with putin to cut deals he's talking to younger about cutting deals trump is looking the board like a giant monopoly board he's got natural gas for sale soybeans for sale and it's mark until isn't you want to make sure that you are selling more to other countries than they are selling to you and the only thing missing is a return to the gold standard and in the ensuing chaos in the currency markets which i anticipate will start to develop pretty soon there's going to be a lot of talk about returning to the gold standard and of course now we have the big going standard to consider as well but the particulars of the deal i don't think are really that important katie because it's minutia and what people need to understand whether it's younger or other players in the global economy is that trump is is introducing a huge paradigm shift in twenty eighteen it's a shift from globalization back to mark into lism and that is a huge economic

they are getting so much of the oil and gas from russia. i think it's something that nato has to look at. i think it's very inappropriate. you and i agree it's inappropriate. i don't know what you can do about it now, but it certainly doesn't seem to make sense that -- you have to defend them gainst russia. aol there are sometimes differences. and different views and disagreements. gas pipeline from russia to germany is one issue where allies disagree. the strength is differences. we have always been able to unite around our thoughts to protect and defend each other. we're stronger together than apart. wo world wars. president trump: how can you be together when a country is getting its energy from the person you want protection against or from the group you want protection? >> they come to understand where we stand together also dealing with russia we're stronger. i think what we have seen -- president trump: we're just making russia richer. we're not dealing with russia. >> i think even during the cold war, nato allies were trading with r

-india gas tax force -- task force. that is a strategic partnership with the private sector and is designed to help india unleashed its own natural gas reserves. they had some substantial reserves there, and certainly bolstering their energy security and creating a range of u.s. commercial opportunities from just our natural gas, the molecules going there, cove, the infrastructure that is going to be built, the innovation that comes with all of that. undersecretaryr at the department of energy, mark menzies, to oversee that. i appreciate his commitment to the sector and continent. we were in japan a year ago. we are looking to promote greater commercial cooperation in the nuclear energy side of things. to that end, the deputy et, he is goingru to be traveling to japan next week to promote the first u.s.-japan bilateral nuclear energy decommissioning. strongly committed to supporting that. that will give strong opportunities for u.s. companies. they will be talking about what his next on the nuclear energy are, small mon

it took around 40%, 40% of the gas in europe came from gas prom as well. record after record. he mentioned this new pipeline this is where it gets really interesting. the rubber stamp is going through the baltic will double the amount of gas that gets into europe and germany it's somewhere around 65 billion btm. a large amount of extra gas could be coming through. guess what the likes of lithuania and poland are doing for starts, it encoaches on their backyards as well. they've been building terminals. this is about reliance on russia but it's also about the competition of exports of l&g going into europe and opening up those markets as well. let me just recap. i've gone on a bit this is overtly about german defense spending it's about the german surplus and russian gas competing with u.s.lng. i thought the president absolutely blindsided them and laid down the gauntlet to germany. >> he clearly came to germany with an agenda if anything, that 2% target is the guise behind the real incentive which is the trade surplus and which is also pointing out the fact that even though eu

we have been producing natural gas for decades. years, we shipped areaut of the cook inlet to japan. it was the longest running out of ther export united states for natural gas. and it was coming right out of cook inlet. reservese got good gas down in the south central area, but we also have extraordinary untapped reserves up in our north slope. we have the potential for methane hydrate, unconventional gas. it is extraordinary. our challenge has never been, do we have the resource? our challenge is how do you move the resource to market. -- the market? back to your question about the role of my chairmanship on the natural resources committee, that has been an important part work out access to alaska's resources. the resources are there, how do you move them? >> senator, in your view, has climate change affected alaska? sen. murkowski: absolutely. as one who was born and raised there, and who travels widely around the state, particularly some of our very remote areas, predominantly on the coast, but into some arctic areas where quit

you have a country like poland that will not accept the gas. some countries want accepted because they don't want to be captive to russia. germany is captive to russia. it is getting so much of its energy from russia. we are supposed to protect germany, but they are getting their energy from russia. explain that. it can't be explained. >> thank you. [inaudible] pres. trump: i have great confidence that they will fix it. >> [inaudible] pres. trump: i have great confidence that they will be spending more money, as they should be. >> [inaudible] >> later, the president met with angela merkel. they spoke briefly with the press about their meeting and u.s.-german relations. pres. trump:

you mentioned shale gas. what is that? isst: basically, shale gas displaced.o it is a geologic formation under the ground, it isn't a rock per se but we could think rock.as that as a solid and when water and sand are shot , tiny crevices allowed the natural gas to be produced, or oil, if there is oil there. and we have so much natural gas now in places like north dakota and texas that we actually have two clear some of it because we haven't yet been able to create a market for it. companies are working on putting together a facility needed to export it by ship. and the united states will someday be a larger exporter of natural gas than countries in the middle east and maybe even russia someday. and we're getting there progressively quickly. but to get all of the facilities and all of the permits and everything required is taking some time. host: how much oil do we import from saudi arabia and the mideast? i would say that now it is pretty small. use 20 million barrels a day and maybe we take one million or 1.5 million barrels from the middle east so it has bec

it's ultimately germany will have almost 70% of their country controlled by russia with natural gas. so you tell me, is that appropriate? i mean, i've been complaining about this from the time i got in, never should have been allowed to happen. but germany is totally rolled by russia, getting 60 to 70% of energy from russia and their new pipeline and you tell me if that's appropriate because i think it's not and i think it's a very good thing for nato and i don't think it should have happened and i think we have to talk to germany about it. on top of that, germany is just paying a little bit over 1%, whereas the united states in actual numbers was paying 4.2% of a much larger gdp. so i think that's inappropriate, also. you know, we're protecting germany, we're protecting france, we're protecting everybody, and yet, we're paying a lot of money to protect. now, this has been going on for decades. this has been brought up by other presidents, but other presidents never did anything about it because i don't think they understood it or just didn't want to get involved. but i have to bring

you have a country like poland, that won't accept the gas. look at some of the countries that don't accept it, because they don't want to be captive to russia. germany is captive to russia, because it is getting so much of its energy from russia. we're supposed to protect germany, but they are getting their energy from russia. explain that. thank you. >> i have great confidence they will spend more. >> thank you. >> later, the president met with german chancellor angela merkel. they spoke briefly with the press about their meeting

oil and natural gas are driving forces behind much of the nation's energy and the transport behind it lies in our country's pipeline infrastructure for a closer look our chief. reports. the us currently the largest consumer of oil consume twenty million barrels a day just in two thousand and seventeen but that wouldn't be possible without pipelines that transport the field from its source to the market and although the u.s. has fallen behind internationally and seen a rapid decline and its infrastructure when it comes to telecommunications transportation and water there one critical bright spot has been on and energy thanks to what has come to be known as the shale revolution the u.s. is now growing closer to becoming a net exporter of crude oil and natural gas and is projected to by pass russia and saudi arabia the current global leaders in energy but this dramatic spike in energy production has created a dilemma in that the existing pipelines are not equipped to deal with such an influx as there are already operating in full capacity let's take the cost of transporting natural gas b

and natural gas liquids. so, you mentioned a few minutes ago that production is up to 11 million barrels a11 million barrels a day. in 2011 it was 5 million barrels a day so we're double over that course of period of time. that's why we call it the shell revolution. but i want to focus on the responsiveness, the swingness, if you will, bob, of u.s. production. what happens when prices go up? what happens when they go down. it's the nature of this responsiveness that i think has had such a big impact on global markets, and i'll explain what i mean by that in a few minutes, but let's first talk about a few fundamentals that kind of get me to that point. the big driver on all of this has been productivity improvement. productivity improvement that has radically changed the supply curve for u.s. oil production. today one rig can bring as much as 5 to 11 times that one crude rig could do in 2011. the producers learned how to drill them fast. the result has been a dramatic reduction in the per-unit cost of producti

is a much different story than normal traded and you have a country like poland the four except the gas you take a look at some of the countries there were separate because they don't want to be captive to russia but germany as far as i'm concerned is captive to russia because it's getting so much energy from but so listen most of it takes germany and getting their energy for i should explain that every three years. but james we can look at pictures of more of the nato allies leaders arriving there arriving as we speak and it's clear isn't it james that the. diplomatic conventions the diplomatic playbook if you like is just being torn up and thrown out of the window and how far is donald trump prepared to challenge the very existence of nato. well that is the big question because the central part of nato is the north atlantic treaty it was signed it's coming up to its seventieth anniversary it was signed an alliance between north america and europe at the end of the second world war at the start of the cold war and at the center of that is what's known as article five of the north atlan
