. >> welcome, secretary of energy ernest moniz. >> well, thank you, karen, and also let me thank allstration colleagues here who are, indeed, great colleagues to work with on this and many other issues. first, let me just say that the department of energy really interacts with our tribal communities in two different ways. one is historically at our far-flung department of energy sites across the country, many of those sites are nearby, contiguous with tribal lands, and so we have those partnerships that we continue to develop. second hi, in 2011 -- secondly, in 2011 the department established the office of indian energy to provide a focal point for focusing on clean energy and its deployment on tribal lands. more recently i would say that we, just last year, we consolidated our tribal programs to have more streamlined management and perhaps more importantly in our request for fiscal year 2015 funding to congress, we increased our request by just about 50%. i might say that request was well received in both chambers. now we need to have them come together and actually pass a budge so

moniz. let me thank my administration colleagues who are great to work with on this and many other issues. first, the department of energy, the way it interacts with the tribal communities, and it does it in two different ways. historically in our far-flung sites across the country, many of those are nearby contiguous with tribal lands. we have those partnerships that we continue to develop. in 2011 the department established the department of indian energy to provide a focal point to focus on clean energy and it's to appointment -- and on tribal lands. last year we consolidated our tribal programs to have more management, and more importantly, in our request for fiscal year 2015 funding to congress. we increased our request by 50%. was well received in both chambers. now, they need to come together and actually pass a budget so we can have those funds to deploy. we remain interested in continuing our growth in these programs. i'm not going to go into the issues of climate change. just to sa

secretary moniz has repeatedly and voluably underscored his commitment to energy water progress and hesees that as a very important undertaking, the announcements that came out of the china agreement actually was that the u.s./china clean energy research centers were adding were on energy water and that that's very welcomed much we look at that enhanced water recovery technology, we are mindful of the fact that oil is between, say, 1,000 to $2,000 a ton, in terms of its value, and water is on the order of half a dollar a ton. you can't actually really finance these things but we do think about this as a good news story because in part about the social right license to operate and water-scarce areas, the value of the water can be very real. it wouldn't surprise you to know that some countries that are very water scarce are very interested in this technology. our estimate, part of the reason we need to pile it and demonstrate, our estimate is that the cost about half the cost of convention desalination if that proves true that can become a very interesting option in terms of thinking abo

police have identified this hostage taker, he's named man haron moniz, a self-proclaimed sheik haron. in 2007 he was convicted of writing offensive letters to the families of soldiers who died while fighting in afghanistan. he has been fighting those charges all the way up until last year and he has been convicted on those letter-writing charges but is currently on bail on two other very separate serious charges. the first he is accused of being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife and the second he's charged with sexual assault related offenses which are related to the services he claims to provide as a self-proclaimed spiritual healer. so certainly very well known to police and the media here in australia and this is all unfolding in terms of the identity in terms of this hostage taker as we speak. >> how many people are still inside the cafe, do we know? kathy, can you still hear me? all right, we've lost kathy novak. but we understand it's less than 20 people still being held inside this cafe. police are just waiting the gunman out hoping that he becomes exhausted and lets th

ernie moniz has stepped up. i had an opportunity for a hike them and we went outside a pueblo, and we saw that was a good place. thought about all the time about renewables. his lab is doing great work on the potential of a hybrid distribution energy that could drop into a remote place, at the bottom of the grant can become a remote village in the pacific, to make sure that we are bringing energy that is clean, that does not continue the sins of the past and gives us a brighter future, but gives you a brighter future to participate in a full weight in the economy without having to do it on the backs of the way that we have got here that have been so damaging. there's much going on. can be frustrating. you all deal with those. we do, too. regulations can be thoughtful and really important, like regulating methane, which the three of us are working on, like regulating carbon that gina mccarthy has been a champion out front on with her powerplant rules. difficult.ainful, trickyation station is a one and one that ep

iswill -- on your screen secretary ernest moniz, the director of the energy agency will join him to talk to energy policy. this is hosted by the bipartisan policy center and is just getting underway. >> i will say a few words to maybe open this up in terms of a few things we are doing and look forward to hearing maria's reservation. the iea -- i think you are all familiar with, and organization the time ofrn in energy security concerns around oil. inremains extremely engaged the energy security discussion but now is a much broader discussion than it was for decades ago. i will say a few words about that and i'm sure maria will touch on that theme as well. all know about the enormous changes we have had not only in the for decades but in the six years the last in-depth review was carried out. i'm not going to try to review al of those but let me say few words about what are clearly some of the priorities of the administration and the department of energy. first, let me say a few words on climate policy. of the president's and in a we talk often quite committed way about pursuing and all o

did you like ernie moniz? if he wasn't fabulous would you say that? >> absolutely. no, listen, he's great. he's an action oriented guy smart, comes from a great background, dynamite choice. >> the reason i want to interview you hear is i heard you gave a talk in asp in a couple of years ago in which you talk about carbon and ways to deploy that. you just opened this mississippi plant at margaret mentioned but beyond that you are taking things to china and i'm interested you are one of the big power guy is and you also deploy your energy among the lowest socioeconomic constituencies in the united states. i'm interested in how you get smart energy choices when the economics are not necessarily their. >> there are a lot of issues -- >> you have seven minutes. >> it is so foundational. when i took of the national security i cochair that effort when i think about the challenges in the economy we see right now come a 46% said they got the constituents that i serve, they make less than $40,000 a year and of the energy budget is relatively inflexible. we think about all the

also today, energy secretary earnest moniz talks about the policy and report by the international energyagency looking at how energy in the u.s. is released. he's at the bipartisan policy center live at 2:00 eastern on cspan. former u.s. ambassador to china john huntsman on the future of chinese relations. the events hosted by the strategic and international studies begins live at 5:30 p.m. on cspan. >>> author and town hall.com editor on what she perceives as the hip -- hip okay ra say. >> the convention they were showing the contribute video to him because he had passed away. and portraying him as a women's rights champion when he left a young woman to drowned in his car. if he had not gone back for nine hours and tried to save his own behind, she would have probably survived. you can't do an entire video at a convention claiming to be preaching and fighting about the war on women and glorify someone like that while not including that part of his life in a video about his women's rights record. >> sunday night at 8:00 eastern on cspan q&a. we're airing one program from each year starti

this is something we found takes real work, take secretary moniz amount of effort.geek out have a lot of thick skin, especially if you're in the position that perhaps is in the crosshairs, if you will, the police. you have to be able to listen to what people have to say i know and understand that these are just excuses people are throwing out there like i feel like that the police have advised against the because of my race, because my gender, because of my sexual orientation. that's just what you think, that's just an excuse. around is these are not excuses and people truly believe, whether or not it's true it doesn't matter. there's a perception out there that exist and that something that requires constant vigilance, not just by a police agency but more so, in fact, by an entire community. look at the reaction we have around this country from a single incident. think about how powerful that incident is. i used to say the same thing in cincinnati. the actions of one police officer brought the attention of the entire world, the entire world to our city. the entire
