a study by the international energy agency predicts the percentage of energy from natural gas will grow from 21% to 25%. kohl will drop from 27% to 22%. crude oil will remain the largest energy source, but its share will remain 23% to 27%. rising demand will have to be met by exploiting shale deposits, pockets of oil and gas locked inside rock formations. germany is rich in shale deposits, but drilling also involves environmental risk because of the dangerous chemicals used to extract the product. it could seep into ground water. environmental groups in germany and the u.s. have vowed to resist efforts to develop shale reserves. >> i am still thinking about that lunch with warren buffett. i hope the stake is good. >> germany is a step closer to getting rid of nuclear energy. the cabinet signed off on a package of bills that will make germany the europe's largest economy that is nuclear-free by% 2022. a power grid will bring renewable energy to homes everywhere in the country. >>c many conservative colleagues used to criticize his negative view of nuclear power. that change with the fuku

the international energy agency came to russia to put out its forecast for the second half of 2011. > be as bad as 2008. it's very important to make a lot of things happen. >> a lot of criticism on the way they put soo much pressure on the cartel that it gave an easy excuse for them not to increase at a time when before the meeting it was misjudged. what do you say to that? >> we are always cooperating with them. first thing, they have to produce more if the demand exists. and then if they cannot do enough, then they will complement the gap. as you say, the gap is relatively interesting for the consumer or producer. have to avoid that. >> they recently celebrated their third century in existence. the hermitage museum is synonymous with st. petersburg. we asked for views on the arab uprisings and what history will tell us. >> the arab world had many uprisings in all of their history and they know how to overcome the uprisings and to once again become very important. people are frustrated. it's not about the economy. it's something where they're not rich but they leave better than they

oil prices dropped almost five percent on thursday after the international energy agency made a surprise announcement sixty million barrels of oil will be released from city to reserves half of this will come from the united states with other major economies providing the rest of the period it's only the first time in history that the sanction the release of reserves move is intended to offset the loss of production from libya which is currently engulfed in civil war meanwhile some opec members want of possible counter measures to prop up your price nick parsons head of research at national australia bank explains why he thinks the i take in this unusual step. is two reasons the first of these relates to the global economy and bear in mind the central banks around the world central banks and governments alike but fairly alarmed at the prospect of rising inflation and oil prices are a major contributor a factor here they certainly don't want to drive their economies back into recession. by overtightening interest rates in order to deal with inflation so working directly at the root cause

the international energy agency is releasing another 30 million barrels.of a difference do you think this is actually going to make? >> near zero, joe. that's about 16 hours' worth of daily consumption for the world as a whole. we consume 86 million barrels a day. do the math. it's about 16, 17 hours. the political sound bite is very powerful, and today's three-plus-dollar drop in the price of oil sounds like it's related to that number. in fact, ben bernanke gave a stomach punch to the oil price yesterday when he talked about head winds and slower economic growth. that's what sent the oil price lower, not 60 million barrels, which won't really enter the system for a month or more. so it's not going to do anything to the long-term oil price prospect. >> so this is just political theater or what? >> yeah. it's little political theater, coming to the driving season, the july 4th weekend pretty soon. it makes it look like elected officials are doing something for the consumer when, in fact, if they really wanted to do something for the consumer, this country
