there are some outside of the immediate gulf coast area but they are not -- they're not significant. so crude oil storage would be problematic on the west coast. >> so you're basically saying -- i don't mean just the west coast, i mean other regions of the country as well. the question centered on the west coast. you're saying in your opinion developing other storage areas for the spr around the country in different regions would be problematic? >> for crude oil storage. now in discussions that were mentioned by mr. shimkus earlier and talked about refined product storage, the u.s. government currently has two refined products reserves, the northeast gasoline supply reserve and the northeast home heating oil reserve. they're both very small. 1 million barrels a piece. they are intended to meet regional supply disruptions. pi they are intended to meet regional supply disruptions. there are challenges associated with products reserves regardless of the model used. both of the product reserves that are currently in existence, they are essentially government owned refined product in lease

needed petroleum products for florida, the eastern seaboard sd and otheinto the regions supplie gulf coast refineries. they recognized the desirability of having regional reserves of petroleum products for example in 2014 we identified five regions that are vulnerable to the supply disruptions. these include the west coast that is vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis in from texas and massachusett to massas vulnerable to hurricanes. with the exception of the small gasoline reserves held in the northeast there are no other product resource held in these vulnerable regions. they recognized the vulnerabilities that come to some studies of alternatives to the current composition and configuration of the strategic reserves and have not completed these studies. they choose to hold about 55% of its strategic petroleum products. they spread of th the reserves s the seven geographic zones and enable it to a distribution networks all over the country. the united states has benefited from european strategic stocks or petroleum products during past hurricane damage to the gulf coast refining infrast

through nebraska to connect to refineries and existing infrastructure toward the gulf coast. it would provide oil for us. it's an open question as to whether economics support the construction of the pipeline. transcanada has said they are thinking about the cost of all this. they have an open season right now from potential oil shippers. they have said they have enough interest, but they don't have firm contracts just yet. we will just have to wait and see on that. host: anything else to look forward on the story? guest: keep looking out for the environmental pressure and pressure from tribes and landowners on both the state government and federal government. host: ellen gilmer is a reporter for "ene news." thanks for the update on the keystone xl pipeline. >> former vice president joe biden and an ohio governor on how to deal with bipartisanship on the trump era. degree, the politics today is a manifestation of the politics that have been brewing for a long time. bork hearings. you are on the committee, you saw how raucous they were. then we went through an impeachment and

more importantly, combination of harvey, irma and maria were devastating to people in the gulf coast, particularly houston and the beaumont area and florida and puerto rico, many of part of our extended family and our hearts and prayers go out to those who continue to struggle to recover and we stand by to help them as much as we can. as a result, the subject of today's hearing is particularly important to our industry so i'd like to limit my time this morning or this afternoon to only three key points of my written testimony. the refining and chemical industries weathered the storms fairly well and proved to be very resilient. this did not happen by accident, rather, it was the result of lots of hard work and preparation, and with the help of an incredibly dedicated work force in federal, state and federal first responders, the true heroes coming out of the events. if you wanted to draw the storm up that could wreak the most havoc, harvey was it. it moved up the east coast, stalled largely over houston, which is the epicenter of the refining and petrochemical industries. it dumped ov
