gordon van walle, president and ceo of iso new england. welcome to each of you. chairman mcintyre, if you would like to begin with your comments this morning. >> yi yes, senator, chairman murkowski, ranking member cantwell and members of the committee. thunk you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the performance of the electric system during the recent weather events. i am honored to serve as the chairman of the ferc. our commission takes conspiracily the responsibility that congress entrusted to us. concerning the reliability, the bulk power system in this country. we're still receiving and reviewing data related to the performance of the bulk power system during the cold weather event that's taken place over the past month. based on what we know to date, it appears that notwithstanding stress in several regions, overall the bulk power system performed relatively well amid challenging circumstances. looking forward, we must both learn from this experience and remain vigilant with respect to challenges to the reliability and resilience of t

to go produced by iso. and it gives you moment-to-moment prices all over new england where the demand occur. by the way, mr. van welie, the demand is exceeding the forecast at this moment by about half a megawatt, you may want to call your office when we finish here. but it also gives where all the resources are, renewables, oil, gas, coal and nuclear. very, very useful. thank you for this. it's incredibly helpful. now, i want to put up some visuals. i learn visually to what we've been talking about here today. the bottom red line on this chart is the marseilles shale cost in the region in pennsylvania going back to the beginning of december. the blue line is the cost in new england. so what this tells us is it's not a gas, it's not a natural gas price problem, it's a delivery problem. and that's what we've been talking about today. it's the infrastructure problem we've been talking about. the problem with the infrastructure is does anybody want to build a $2 billion or $3 billion pipeline to deal with this

with the isos and rtos as well as through the electricity sector coordinating council. we reached back throughout the united states and with nerc with all the partners that we've got there but in this case it's even bigger than the electric side because it's really where the nexus to bring together the oil and natural gas component. we have two separate coordinating councils which we're looking to bring together under this rubric because of the inter dependency between oil, natural gas and the electric system. so we've already laid out a schedule of all of those participants that we need to pull together to work with ferc, nerc and the regional rtos in an effort to ensure we have the best answer we can and that's the essence of where this model comes from. once we've got all of the information and we then can take the actual technical components of the system which we already have, we've already started gathering that and that's part of the reason i was out at northcom with my team last week is starting to define some of the resiliency work that's already been done at t

it really has kicked that to the rts and isos to define what the regard is to the resiliency. the root question is, are they the best organization to make that assessment or determination. what about the electricity reliability organizations. how do the others factor into this? we recognize they we don't own the grid. i understand why it moved forward as it did in rejecting get where you're trying to go with this assessment, but does it need to be broader than just the rts westman. >> it is broader. the most immediate and directed request was to report back in answering questions. we have invited broader stakeholder input. we've initiated that outreach are ready. i do agree with your suggestion. >> i appreciate that. i feel it's an important part of any analysis that might move forward. assistant secretary walker, you spoke to the collaboration that needs to go on. you said it would take unprecedented collaboration to keep the lights on. into that ends, with the resiliency model that you have indicated is the top priority have your your staff reached out to the reliability or

we did that -- our way of doing that strategically was to enable local forces to defeat iso, because that is necessary to have a lasting defeat. if we just go in and do it ourselves, we can -- and then somebody -- our experience has been that that is a very difficult thing to pull off. >> and that ticked off turkey? >> well, that led us, therefore, to find, identify and train and equip and help those who are willing to fight isis on our behalf. some of them are kurds who are associated with a group which has conducted terrorist operations in turkey. to that extent turkey does have a point. at the same time we have a point. we had to protect ourselves and now we have to sustain the victory, that means letting the people who live there rule in a way that is better than isis ruling. now, these kurdsctually live there. so the idea that they should govern is, i think, unassay labl, we do owe it to turkey that those kurds that are part of that syrian force we've helped don't turn their means against turkey, which after all is a nato friend and nato ally. although, in recent years, it's bee

troops were deployed to the kurdish region in syria to assist in the fight against iso the u.s. led coalition says the american personnel will stay and help create a border security force of thirty thousand kurdish troops the u.s. policy is to contain iran and it is using its only leverage in syria the kurds to try to do that. in the trump doesn't have a new policy for syria he inherited his predecessor a policy of nor direct military intervention but he doesn't want the russians iranians the syrian regime and hezbollah to declare victory the u.s. is not in a position to confront what it wants to postpone addict a ration of victory what he didn't postpone however was his campaign pledge but today we finally acknowledge the obvious that jerusalem is israel's capital with this highly controversial move trump overturned decades of u.s. foreign policy in the middle east but one year in what this administration thinks its policies in the region will ultimately achieve remains unclear. they want. a spending bill to keep the u.s. government operating beyond friday has cleared a hurdle

when we look at the storms like today we look at iso bars. these are lines of constant pressure. everywhere you see a white line is equal pressure. that is 990 i will tell you that in a second. that is a decent storm. watch as we go to the next 12, 24 hours. notice the lines and how many more occur. the pressure will lower. forecast to 960. a lot of numbers. what does it mean? the bomb cyclone, it means area of low pressure, storm with the rapid intensification. it has a 24-hour drop in pressure of 24 mili bars. a big drop in pressure. also warm weather help it. so that low pressure at 960, category three storm is like 950 mili bar pressure. for comparison sake. when it's over water look at the temperature difference. we have teens and 20's out here. the water temperatures are 60's and 70's. so that term bomb cyclone is an area of low pressure that intensifies and the definition of the 24 milibars so it's a big stor intensifying. i hope it makes sense there. that is what that is. warm water. does it make sense? robert: it did. the forecast was the bomb. nice! here we go. wins are

negotiation parallel with the foreign ministers, john kerry and sarif, that really early on , there iso establish no argument over whether or not the international community has a high degree of distrust of the iranian nuclear program. the facts on the ground tell you that. the fact that the u.s. and russia, post-ukraine, were negotiating together, tells you that. the point of that is, therefore, right up front, it had to be made clear, there would need to be extraordinary verification measures for there to be any help of an acceptable agreement, ok? so then, there are a hole variety of things. i will mention, for example, 20 years of surveillance of the manufacture of critical centrifuge parts. chainrs of uranium supply verification. but now getting to some forever the -- iran commits to the additional protocol for those who are not familiar probably few in this audience, , but the initial protocol is what gives the iaea the opportunity to inspect ,ndeclared nuclear sites that for which they have reason to be suspicious. that is a voluntary agreement with various countries. iran is req
