>> i'll tell you, neil, kind of the opposite of irma. if you remember last year, irma was menacing for a week 1/2. we didn't know where it was going to go or whether it would be a big storm. fortunately when it got closer it petered out a little bit. it was still serious but it slowed down. this is the opposite, it snuck up on people. a week ago nobody was talking about this. all of sudden we saw it. it has gotten more intense so this will be a very serious storm. people were advised to evacuate. those coastal areas. most did but some did not and at this point the governor is telling people that you're not folk to be able to get out safely so you just have to hunker down and hope for the best but it is going to be real significant storm surge and then obviously category 4 wind hitting the close there in northwest florida. neil: i'm curious, congressman, with this nine to 14 feet of flooding they expect, all of this is pre-high tide which comes later tonight that could be a double-whammy? >> without question, you look where the storm surg

>> well, in puerto rico or in the florida one, irma?> both. >> in irma, the answer is yes in florida for the most part, with some problems that exist with the program in general. no on the case of puerto rico. let me explain the differences. in the case of florida, our fema process, the way we respond to hurricanes and natural dezacher is fema comes in, asks the state what do you need? the state tells you this is what we need, and they provide it. they're there to help the state. the front line is the state. the government steps in as a backdrop. that model did not work in puerto rico. and i knew that. i think i was there 72 hours after. i believe i was the first elected federal official that went other than jennifer gonzal gonzalez. and i came back and the following monday went to the white house, met with the vice president, and said the fema model is not going to work in puerto rico. one, it's 1,000 miles away. you can't drive in a convoy of trucks restore power like we did in florida. number two is the government of puerto rico that

just hurricane florence and irma cost over one hundred billion in economic damage so they're thinking like we'd rather pay a little bit towards this damage because at one point you know when we have these her obviously there's still hurricane michael that has caused even more damage so we don't know the full tally so far this year to all this hurricane damage that the proposed tax of forty dollars for time would bring into into seventy six billion or slightly more than exxon revenues last year about eight hundred dollars per person here in the u.s. we also as a nation spent one point zero five trillion dollars on energy last year the u.s. has a g.d.p. of one thousand point five trillion and twenty seven thousand so to put into context two hundred seventy six billion and whether or not it actually adds up to the externalities that are caused by carbon emissions well yeah no the course the accounting of all this that's where the get lost in the wades and somehow these dividends are not going to make it out to the folks that are the victims of exxon and the energy industry whose lives ar

last year irma, the strongest storm ever in the open atlantic. harvey had the worst flooding event.ively, when we take a step back and look at what is going on, in this case now with michael, my namesake, this is the strongest storm ever to occur this late in the season. it's the strongest land—falling storm to occur this late in the season. technically it was a category four storm but it was on the edge of being a category five. what we see, collectively, is the fingerprint of human impact on our climate. warmer oceans providing more energy to intensify the storms. means a bigger storm surge and more coastal flooding to be warmer ocean temperatures also mean more moisture in the storms, moisture that they are able to convert into record flooding like we have seen with many of the storms recently. and yet, people still say they have seen this sort of thing before and people are still hoping to ride this sort of storm out. when you see them being described still as a natural disaster do you feel we need a different language these days? yes, indeed. these are unnatural disasters. thes

better in 2017 with customer outage times essentially cut in half from much more severe hurricane irma. point number three, the scope and pace of industry changes is unprecedented and while some of these changes add significant reliability and economic benefits, they do add complexity to both operate the system and restore from outages. these changes include generation fuel mix, increased use of interconnected digital technologies and physical and cyber threats. areas of continued focus related to these topics include interoperability issues between sectors and the security of an increasingly interconnected digital grid. point four, there are a number of beneficial no regrets actions that are under way having to do with equipment spares, testing, mutual aid and drills. for example, con edison has developed, tested and deployed resiliency transformers, smaller modular devices that can be installed quick in a variety of system locations if their primary used power transformers are damaged. like wise con ed is testing blackstart recovery in the midst of an ongoing cyber attack. the mutual

in terms of restoration from hurricane irma and extensive use of drones and likewise hurricane harvey in the use of densities of drones. i do think one of the issues we need to look at is any new technology like that you have to protect the data from the cyber security and point and make sure that the issues and lastly i know that coordination and act as airspace postevent is an issue under hurricane florence my understanding is there was a delay of up to a day just coordinating acts in the aerospace to respond. >> that's exactly what utilities are working with our us eight development areas for those reasons. >> thank you, senator hoban. senator smith. >> thank you, madam chair and remember cantwell. i must turn into more of an energy nerd than i was before i got here because this is absolutely interesting and thinking about all of the different aspects of what we have to address here in terms of workforce and startup energy source and planning and testing and vacations and the research we need and this is a very rich conversation. i'd like to focus in on the question of startup ener
