. >>> bay area viewers and all of us here at ktvu are remembering veteran channel 2 reporter bob mackenzie, he died yesterday after a long battle with cancer, he was 75 years old. bob had a writing style all his own, plus the incredible talent to see the ordinary and make it extraordinary. his knack for story telling delighted audiences for more than 30 years and he clearly loved his work. >> i have always tried to specialize in feature stories. these are stories that aren't about what went wrong today or even anything that happened today. they are about things that are going on all around us. >> he got a journism degree. he was a tv critic before joining ktvu in 1977. he won 13 local emmys as well as many other awards. you can see more of his work on our website ktvu.com. >>> after a two day battering stocks edging higher. they could add liquidity to stabilize it. the dow up 27, the nasdaq up 24 the moment. >>> someone in the bay area may be 200,000 dollars richer and not even know it. the station there sold a winning lotto ticket and so far no one has come forward to claim it. the drawin

it comes from the wood-mackenzie. in their analysis they found that u.s. policies, which encourage the development of new and existing sources could by 2030 increase domestic oil and natural -- national gas production are going believe that should be natural. says national. a natural gas production by over 10 million support an additional 1.4 million jobs in a time when we are stuck above 9% of unemployment and the president can't seem to get it down and raise over 800 billion in additional government revenue. now this takes into consideration a number of administrative holdups including the gulf of mexico production, keystone pipeline and additional bureaucracy, natural gas and natural gas is big in my district which is shell. we are continually fighting back against the efforts to slow that down. even if, even f. the results were 50% in terms of revenue and jobs, we would still be close to a million jobs if not more and $400 billion of revenue. so this study is even close to being accurate, we are still talking about tons of jobs and lots of money, sir.
