the keystone center brings together a very wide variety of stakeholders, from the private and public sectors, from universities, who generally don't speak at the same table, around the same stage but just like the athletic food summit, they all come together at the keystone center, either in colorado or in washington or wherever they convene conferences. so she's going to be talking about the field to market initiative and what they brought together at keystone and what they view as agriculture challenges of the next century and your visions of sustainability. because after all, it's part of your title. >> sure. just to start, at the keystone center, as you mentioned, where at that -- we're the facilitators of a lot of stake holders to address these issues. so i think that the safe and definition that we use at keystone all the time for sustainability is that it's a team sport. this is something that not any one entity is going to be able to accomplish on their own and hence the need for multistakeholder engagement and agreement on what it is exactly we're trying to do when it comes

i go to boys and girls club, and i am part of keystone, vice president, and i'm also youth leader for the tenderloin clubhouse. growing up in the tenderloin, i see a lot of homelessness, violence, and drug use, and i have a lot of friends and family members that died of violence and drug use, and most of them are high-school dropouts. i feel that a lot of programs in the tenderloin -- they really support youth to go to schools, and they just do good. i feel that if we take money out of programs like this, kids are not going to have a place to go. they are going to go to the streets and be exposed to the violence, the drugs, and the homelessness. [applause] and basically, i just feel that instead of spending money on things that stop people from doing that stuff, i feel like it should be put into schools and youth programs because that is what really keeps the youth -- and we are a people that is going to be the future. [applause] [applause] >> good evening, fellow citizens. thanks for your time. i am a muni drivers. i was born in san francisco, 1947. i still live here. the economic cr

the old navy base is considered a hydrogeological keystone. >> because it sits right on the middle ofhe bay and it is surrounded by many areas that are undergoing restoration today. >> reporter: the former navy base's antennas track communications out to sea for more than 50 years. it was farmland before that. before that it was bay marshland. >> originally a wetland that provided much habitat for wildlife species and taking it back to a wetland is what is the ultimate goal. >> reporter: wildlife already has access to the area but it may be awhile before people can come to bird watch and even hunt and fish. they can't pull the plug on the levees until they ensure the neighboring farms that it won't cause wetlands and flooding in the farmlands. building the new bay bridge helped pay for it. the bay conservation and development commission required cal-trans to put up $8 million to mitigate the new bridge's impact on the bay. all that money came to the skaggs island project with some enabling legislation from congresswoman lynn woolsley. mandel stewart says returning it to marshland is n

we can also look at them assorted keystones in these archways. when you pull out these keystone components, the entire system crashes. so what they have as we can see with our global industrial system, there is no compartmentalization. the system is not resilient. it is extremely rigid, extremely brutal, a disaster in one place is transmitted throughout the system almost instantaneously. it becomes, can easily become a disaster everyplace. and some of these disasters we can imagine being destructive. one of things we should understand is this is a new phenomena. the shipment of components of semiconductors from a town outside of taipei to the rest of the world was in a few days all of these factories all around shut down all around the world shut down. we saw industrial crashes after september 11, we saw a crash during the sars event during the west course portlock out. four years ago in japan there was a smaller earthquake that knocked out one factory. we saw all 12 manufacturers shut down. the lehman event, the lehman shock of september 2008 no

they are also impacting the development of the keystone pipeline. the state department postponed their decision on whether or not the pipeline can move forward until later this year while it conducts additional environmental reviews. this is on top of the 20 meetings the agency already conducted. completion of the pipeline would move more than a million barrels of oil each day to refineries in the gulf and create over 300,000 jobs in the u.s. over the next few years. the technology to develop them did not exist 30 years ago. now, this is another example of why it is so important to invest in innovation and secure stable sources of energy. whether we are talking about oil sands, deep water drilling or alaska, the urgency and the impact are similar. bottom line is this. if we don't develop secure energy sources we will have to import it from places that are less secure and stable and less environmentally controlled. when we are not sure when the next shift will arise, why would we want to add another layer of uncertainty to the mix? one important fina

of environmental protection who has frankly jurisdiction over the drilling of natural gas in the keystone test responded saying that water supplies downstream of marcellus gas drilling is safe. this testing has addressed misinformation related to water quality in the commonwealth and validated with scientific data that municipal drinking water is safe. mr. speaker, each day in my district there's news regarding the marcellus shale worthy of a national headline. through this resource and these technologies 70 million homes and thousands of small businesses are paying the lowest gas prices in years to heat their homes. the lowest. let me repeat that. when you have gas prices, petroleum gas prices that are at record high, volatile high for our vehicles, natural gas prices at the same time are at a record low. that's worthy of a national headline. that's all because of one thing, natural gas in this country is largely domestically produced, it's produced by american workers and it doesn't have that volatility that you see when you become reliant on the countries such as the middle east -- in

they are impacting the many development of a keystone pipeline that mixes oil sales with refineries. the state department has postponed its decision on whether the pipeline can move forward until late this year while it conducts environmental reviews. this is on top of the greater than 20 public meetings that the agency has conducted. completion of the pipeline would move more than a million barrels each day to refineries in the gulf and create over 3,000 jobs in the u.s. over the next four years. i've taken -- taken together, oil supplies the largest crude to the u.s. more than any other single country. the technology to develop oil sand didn't exist 30 years ago. now, this is another year why it is so important for the u.s. to invest in energy innovation, to encourage exploration, and secure a table -- and secure stable sources of energy p whether we are talking about oil sands, deep-water drilling, the urgency and the impact are similar. and the bottom line is this -- if we don't develop secure energy sources, we will have to report from places less secure, less stable, and less e

the keystone xl pipeline project would bring several hundred thousand barrels of oil a day from alberta, canada, to refineries in southeast texas. this would provide more energy for america but the president has had it for over two years and can't make up his mind whether to approve the project or not. the state department, e.p.a. and a bunch of out of towners have stone walled the project on alleged environmental grounds. pipelines are the most cost effective and environmentally sound way to transport oil and natural gas. oil must reach the refinery some way. we can either import oil through a safe and reliable pipeline from our friends and neighbors, the canadians or rely on risky tankers coming from unstable middle eastern countries and dictators. even the e.p.a. should be able to figure this out after two years of delay. gasoline is nearly $4 a gallon. the administration needs to be rerealistic and approve this pipeline immediately. it's about time we start laying pipe. that's just the way it is. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas
