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 fukushima disaster. germany plans to exit nuclear pow

[laughter] that same trip, we met with chancellor kohl and looked out at the rhine. i watched in off as coal and larry, between them, the art and entire platter of huge german pastries and made history as they did so. the only person even more independent-minded than larry was marlene. i will never forget him telling me that mrs. reagan frown on marlene wearing pants is however elegant to white house dinners. you can only imagine both larry's and marlene's reaction to that. for all the wit and foibles that were so endearing, larry was a brilliant, blunt spoken, hard- headed realist and a lifelong defender of our country and its interests. america will miss the diplomat and of the national security legend. larry's friends will forever missed the man. >> i want to think the eagleburger family, scott, and, jason, for the invitation to share some observations about the uninsured and diplomat, not only on my own behalf, but on behalf of the men and women of the state department. when i was first asked to be secretary of state by president obama, i figured i should call al

more than a quarter of 401(k) participants has a loan out, and senator herb kohl of wisconsin has introduced a law to reign them in. but honestly? a careful loan against your nest egg is not necessarily bad. it's an inexpensive way to borrow regardless of your credit score, and since you pay interest back into your own account, you could end up with more money socked away than when you started. but before you do it, ask these questions. first, will you keep saving in your 401(k) as you repay the loan? you don't want to simultaneously pull money out in a loan and stop funding your retirement-- unless you want to work until you're 90. second, is your job secure? if you leave work with an outstanding 401(k) loan, you'll have to repay it immediately or face taxes on the balance, plus possibly a 10% penalty. finally, do you really need a loan? is it for something that will make you better off-- like a college education? or for a splurge vacation? a dumb loan is a dumb loan whether it's from your 401(k) or not. i'm eric schurenberg. >> tom: that's "nightly business report" for wednesday, june 15.

middle east expert and blogger kohl shero joins me know he's joining us live from london thanks very much indeed for being with us here a latino as we know not of the e.u. nor the u.s. are talking about a military intervention to stop the bloodshed in syria just how effective are these sanctions. pardon i didn't hear the story i just going to ask you just how effective sanctions at the moment bearing in mind that no military intervention is being considered at the moment. i don't think sanctions are intended to be effective but they're part of this new way of intervention that's emerging by the west which is more about signal and hijacking the moral authority of the high moral ground and the worry then is that that would escalate over time and then prepare the ground for for more direct action what would that direction action be justified obviously what we've seen there in libya humanitarian mission clearly the syrians are in the same sort of trouble as the libyans the libyan people being attacked by their own regime so that doesn't justify intervention doesn't it. not absolutely not

obama greeted chancellor angela merkel with their first meeting with the german leader since helmut kohlter, entertainment from singer/songwriter and james taylor. they exchanged the traditional toast of the evening. we will try to bring that to you in a little bit. a full day of meetings between the two leaders. angela merkel is the head of the german government, not the state. for protocol reasons, she received a 19 gun salute as opposed to the traditional 21- gun salute reserved for a head of state. joining us tonight to help us learn more about u.s.-german relations, a senior fellow of foreign relations. we will take your tweets and phone calls, as well. let's begin with the state dinner now for the chancellor. >> i think that the obama administration wanted to send a message that they consider this to be a centerpiece of global security, and i think there were some that were worried, first term in obama's that he was more interested in asia, in other parts of the world, but that he would shifting away. i think he wanted to deal with that misperception. a few weeks ago, he spent a we

the stars at the first state dinner for german chancellor angela merkle, the first one since helmut kohlsix times, but this is the first state dinner. why not under president george w. bush? what was their relationship? >> i think this particular visit is laden with symbolic importance, and that the relationship between the united states and germany has gone through something of a rough patch. germans are asking why obama has not been to berlin. has the united states to some extent lost its european calling? obama wanted to send a clear signal -- we stand by you. this relationship is important. it is not as if with previous visits they were downgraded. it is that this one comes at a very important time in obama's presidency and merkle's chancellorship. >> we will go to the republican color -- a republican caller. >> i wanted to let you know that your comments are very much appreciated. you handle calls very well. we really enjoy you. you are a great host. i want to ask your guest -- the euro has been so strong for the last few years, with the exception of the last two years. it has been

at that same hearing deputy assistant secretary kohl warned that comical, we are now at a point where the strategic dividends of our sacrifice are within reach as long as we take the proper steps to consolidate them, unquote. meaning what? he said, a long-term strategic partnership with iraq based on a mutual interests and mutual respect. secretary feltman emphasized essentially the same point noting that, quote, the strategic importance of this moment cannot be over emphasiz emphasized. i thought then that we had a major problem. i am now convinced that we have a total disconnect. while the administration is plenty for an iraq that is going to be continuing its recovery in reconstruction with the aid of a multibillion-dollar american presence, the public and congress are not just moving swiftly to the exits on this, they have actually left the building. if there's one lesson the obama administration can't seem to learn, is it has to be, that there is -- that nothing explains itself and nothing sells itself. if the administration thought last year it was vital to our national security
