gas industry in a punitive way. if you look at the report, the oil and natural gas industry pays a 44.6% tax rate on a global scale. we pay not only our fair share, we pay more than our fair share. we pay $85 million a day to the federal government. we are making a contribution. we can continue to create well- paying jobs and allow others to make additional contributions. a tax policy that singles out an individual industry is wrongheaded and it is going in the wrong direction. the likelihood in my view, humble, but correct my opinion is that it is unlikely that anything will happen in 2014 in a comprehensive way. tom agrees with me. >> regarding your report and the america's choice campaign, is this going to create ratings of congressional candidates for office? >> we support all political candidates who support oil and natural gas and understand the vision and the potential for this country. to date, we currently do not rate and we will not use this opportunity to rate current members. i will tell you that as we l

half use natural gas. gas futures trading 32% higher than a year ago. that's bad for homes and large parts of the country heated by natural gas. too early to tell what it will do in the coming months. despite the sale of shavels and road salts, but it may have slowed job growth because the unemployed put off searches due to the bad weather. we'll see if that was the case when the next job report comes out on friday. i have been asking you what impact has this cold weather snap had on you financially. steven says heat went out. overusing electric oven and brought a space heater. be careful using your oven to heat your houses. and: >> tell me what you think. i do look at your comments. >> prepare to pay more for meat, meat, corn, that's a message. jj keeps an eye on the prices of things you eat, like cattle or the beef from cattle, and how high energy demand affects the price of heating your home. good to see you. i had a bunch of people asking how it affects agriculture in january, there's a lot of agriculture in january. >> it will give people a new app

we could think of that in terms of natural gas also. we just aren't that many dairy farms out there that we can pump the gas and the lines

green gas. so, the -- replacing the 100% renewable in our plan is going to be difficult. now, there are some things that we can do around the edges. one of the slices there is bart 100% renewable by 2030. we can get them to go green, that's great. we have another 11% of the electricity that are direct access commercial customers where they could decide as businesses that the right thing for them to do is to go 100% green. so, if we can convince them, and that would be a voluntary activity on their part, that we might be able to reach another piece of the market. the question is how are we going to get to the rest of it. and that's a challenge that's been discussed at this commission and i know will be discussed in the future. so, i'm not going to go through each one of these parts. i will point out that urban forest is the light blue wedge at the top. be great to see that expanded, or expanding any of these wedges. some of them are under influence from the department of the environment. some of

natural gas to canada and mexico. and natural gas liquids to honduras and aruba. i know that you probably know these facts well and i did not come here today to simply recite facts. as good as this story is, these developments have transpired in spite of the federal government, not because of it as the president seems to imply. the rules of engagement on energy trade were written long ago for a now bygone world in which scarcity, not abundance, where the prevailing mindset. a hodgepodge of regulations has accumulated over the better part of a century. kind of like barnacles on the hull of the ship. let me briefly sketch out the maze we are dealing with here. the state department reviews cross-border oil pipelines such as keystone xl, but petroleum products like crude oil and the energy department grants export licenses. but the commerce department permits exports of natural gas liquid. and the federal energy regulatory commission regulates cross-border natural gas pipelines. coal and renewable energy products flow with ease while nuclear exports are tightly regula

propane, a biproduct of natural gas is used in the equipment that drys corn. demand for natural gas is skyrocketing as well and prices are following suit due to the record cold this winter. >> it's having an impact on what we've got suppliwise to last through the winter. whenever we get hit with a really cold storm, do we have enough to make it to the end of the winter with the current supplies of natural gas we have? as the cold weather comes in we spike up. >> natural gas supplies declined by the most on record last week as heating demand hit nearly five times historical norms this time of year. more than half of the country uses natural gas to heat their homes and the energy department predicts consumers will spend 13% more on the natural gas bills this winter than last. >>> good news about forecast for global economic growth, international monetary fund just raised its outlook for worldwide growth for the first time in nearly two years on rising consumer demand and higher inventories, especially in the most advanced economies. >> that will certainly be one

we are bathing in natural gas. why are gas prices going up?it's interesting because i know the lead-in piece about the pipeline, in certain areas in the northeast last week, natural gas cost over $90 per 1,000 cubic foot. so these pipelines moving gas around the country, we have bottlenecks and that's creating the dynamics of the pockets of high prices. >> is it safe in light of the pictures we were just seeing? >> it's the safest way to transport oil and natural gas. obviously not timely with the keystone pipeline decision coming and this happening. moving natural gas and oil in this country, pipelines are still the safest manner. >> we've had train issues as well. if you can't do it by train or pipeline, we are stuck. >> you got to move it. so you got truck, you got train or you got pipeline. the reality is that pipeline is still by far the dominant transport facility. >> higher prices bad for consumers. i can't speak for our viewers. my heating bills went like this. i thought the decimal had moved over one spot too many. here's the good new
