shale revolution, america is the stop global producer of natural gas. and in the past several years, natural gas has become the top fuel choice shale revolution, america for generating elech terrorist knit our nation. my constituents in texas have seen the dramatic benefits of the shell revolution and pay some of the lowest electricity costs in the nation. for example, last april the residential price for electricity was just over 11 cents per kilowatt hour. however the average price in massachusetts was almost 21 cents per kilowatt hour. america's domestic energy outlook as completely flipped from saresity to abundance, why do some parts of the country, primarily in the northeast, pay twice as much for electricity? there is one clear reason. some areas like the needed pipeline -- lack the needed pipeline infrastructure to bring natural gas to consumers. the reason for this is some state and federal agencies are failing to make timely decisions on the necessary pipeline permits to deliver natural gas to consirmse. can and we should modernize our pipelin

or the vindication of nature or perhaps the rediscovery of nature. what i'm trying to get at with these inadequate titles is leon's effort to adapt and reappropriate aristotle's insights into nature. it's a nature. the word nature. something normative rather than descriptive. something inherently purposeful and meaningful. source of authority. something that in every minute particular contains principles and integrated understanding of nature that includes the physical and the human in seamless web. a web that does nothing in vain. why would a trained american scientist want to do this? why would he want to traffic outdated idea? because they might not be entirely outdated. because they might contain truth. we've allowed ourselves to forget to our detriment. aristotle and his understanding of nature against the insufficiencies of a minority who thought to supersede him by understanding of purposeless nature that exists only to be molded and mastered by our sovereign will. this book, "toward a more natural science. it contains a kind of on desk kind o

why would it be controversial to call breastfeeding natural? if it's not natural, what is natural?stfeeding doesn't come naturally as pediatricians will tell you. it's not easy. there are lactation specialists out there, there's our whole industry. breastfeeding isn't exactly natural. it doesn't come naturally to women. what they are saying is, i am so happy there's a study out here, finally letting women not have this guilt trip, that it's okay to handle a formula to daddy, to the men, and it's natural for a man to feed a baby. they are saying that only a woman able to feed a child is inappropriate. it is unethical and inappropriate. i am so glad that we are let off the hook finally. >> tucker: it's not unethical or inappropriate, whatever those words mean. it's the opinion of some physicians that breastmilk is superior to formula and other people disagree. it's a debate. it has reached for quite some time. but you seem to be saying is it's bad because it suggests that women have a different role in motherhood than men do, but they do, because women are the only people biologicall

gas but now because natural gas prices are actually cheaper than coal you see natural gas become baseload new so nucular coal and increasingly natural gas service baseload whereas the peakers are are increasingly renewable energy and one of the happy coincidences is that solar capacity is at its greatest during peak hours of demand so solar actually can play a very big role and of course the big thing is once energy storage technologies you know continue to mature and decline in price energy storage is going to balance out the intermittency of these renewables and really make these other baseload units irrelevant at the base load i read your article in your earlier perry memo stuff about this so the baseload the coal and nuclear power it's not like you just go turn on and off just like you can with a national gas you could just like easily flip on the switch and turn it off these that take a long time to hit up and down like you can't just they do yes so you don't typically turn these power plants on an office freshly with a nuclear power plant you've got pretty big lead times you know yo

inre is a natural harbor portland, the downtown area. the water is naturally deep. there was a population center here, which made it a natural port, and all the timber, the fur, and agricultural products that were grown in the area, all of that combined made portland what it is today. the first signs of european exploration and settlement came in the late 1700s, captain robert gray was the first explorer to find the mouth of the columbia river. he sailed into the mouth and discovered this huge, natural waterway. not long after that, there was the overland exploration, i lewis and clark, -- by lewis and came out to the part, one of the most important reasons they came on the expedition, was to find the northwest passage. they wanted to find a waterway to connect the eastern parts of the united states with the pacific ocean, opening up access to trade and transportation with asia. i think a lot of people really do not understand or remember that that was one of the primary reasons why lewis and clark came west in the early 1800s. the port was officially formed in 1891

we talked about natural gas replacing coal-fired plants, that has to do with market forces. margin a better profit running a natural gas fire plant instead of a coal-fired plant in a lot of these different markets. that's not entirely based on regulation. if the supply and demand fundamentals. you talk about the export of methanol. again, that goes back to the idea of free markets, of tohanol producers shifting where he gets the best price. it's as simple as that. host: a good place to learn about market forces, s&p global flatts.com, follow brian on twitter. he is taking your calls this morning for about the next 20 minutes to talk about the future of u.s. energy policy, rick perry, for months at the energy department, taking your calls and questions. bill, good morning. good morning. thank you for c-span. i want to make two major comments on how the u.s. in a way is going backwards on energy. coalr one, the kentucky that you saw in the papers switched to solar energy. this is the coal museum and they are saving $8,000 year by doing it. the second point i'm making is in chi

in other words, property rights were indistinguishable from natural rights. jackson was pushing back against the petitioner's emphasis on the natural rights of slaves to freedom. but in defending slavery, jackson went beyond underscoring the centrality of property rights to the founding of the new nation. to counter the petitioner's portrait of the equal humanity of slaves, jackson laid out his version of the nature of enslaved africans and african americans. the west african countries from which american slaves originated followed a despotic and tyrannical social model, in which 18 exercise absolute authority over the property, persons of all those in his dominion, according to jackson. perpetuatedns were from their earliest experiences and what jackson considered barbaric africa. even with their mother's milk, this elixir of servitude, making it their -- making it there in nature. hisurther augment justification for slavery, jackson turned to the prospect of emancipation. if the slaves were freed, what next? that thomasted out jefferson in the state of virg

but 20 years from now, our wells may be dry for natural gas and we will need that natural gas that mexico will be producing when they work in northern mexico. so that's why we need to structurize this if we want a north american energy market for electric transmission like they do in the new england states or electric transmissions along the border in texas. i know they do the same thing in southern california. we need to have some certainty that our closest neighbors. we have a free trade agreement with these two countries. it is already decided it's in our national interest. why would we set aside energy as something different? that's why this bill is so important. i yield back the balance of my time and i urge a very yote for this legislation. -- urge a yes vote for this legislation. ms. castor: i have one additional speaker. i'll reserve. the chair: the gentlelady from florida reserves. the gentleman from oklahoma is recognized. mr. mullin: i reserve two minutes to my colleague from arizona, congressman gosar. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. gosar: mr. chai

. >> in the book nature, a series of conversations and difficulties really wanted to subscribe to what emerson was saying. and they struggle to conquer it at the same time. and >> for the next 90 minutes we will learn about the literary history and its role in the american revolution. the special feature at the old home where ralph waldo emerson ends -- in the transcendental movement. >> the old man is a house of two revolutions. it stood in the american revolution, through its windows down the hill and later the second american revolution, intellectualism and thought and such a charming house with so many discoveries. i love working here and every week i am finding new graffiti, a similar object in the corner. it keeps on giving in a way that has never seen in my career so it is a house full of places to be discovered and for inspiration as well. in 1760 by william everson and his family, one of the first occupants of the house and a minister. william emerson is the grandfather of the emerson, the writer we know and love. he and his wife phoebe had several children, the last of which

daniel: trump has talked about increasing natural death sales to europe -- natural gas sales to europe anyone stand to benefit? jens: certainly. the key is basically liquefied, natural gas. the trump administration is hoping in general to become the world's biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas. there is also some resistance to those ideas bececause if you export more natural gas, that would mean higher prices and that could increase the cost for u.s. consumers and also for some of the u.s. industry. if we look at future exports of liquefied natural gas, europe could be one place to sell to, but also china and other places. if you look at the market right now, the biggest importers of u.s. natural gas are chile, mexico, and further behind, china, india and argentina. that could be a plan if you look at the u.s. industry -- actually the export of liquefied natural gas could kick off quite a bit. gerhart: -- daniel: qatar has lost a complaint of the world trade organization challenging a boycott by its neighbors. ththey accuse them of supporting teterrorism. it's the worst diplomatic

going natural. but what does that really mean? "on the money" starts right now. >> this is "on the money." you're money, your life, your perhaps better said, the opposite of retirement. more americans age 65 and older are still employed at the highest rate since 1962. for this week's cover story, more boomers are working over time. >> i'm retired, happily. >> i would retire at 50. >> why? >> well, because it's a lot younger than 65 or 70. >> 65. that was the age when your work days ended and the life of leisure began. but that's becoming more rare. >> i plan on working until i really can't anymore. >> for millions retiring at 65 may not be financially possible. in 2000, 13% of americans age 65 or older were still working full or part time. today that 19%. by 2021 an estimated 32% of seniors will still be on? job. >> if i live to be 100, i think i could work up to 80 years old because i love what i do. >> the number of people in the work force age 25 to 64 isn't projected to change much. today there were more workers than young wor

," the first draft of "nature." so he came briefly for a nine-month timeframe where he was here in the house and overlap with ezra. this really early vision of looking out really continue with the people that lived and worked in the film, including with emerson who sat at a chair just like this one. the original of the emerson chairs over at the concord museum and the wonderful collaboration with them last year, the concord museum, the trustees and the north of bennet street school came together to reproduce the emerson chair that visitors would actually sit in the chair where emerson wrote "nature" and looked out for themselves over the landscaper the one thing that people always notice is facing the original and a look at this one that we have reproduced. this one is great and original chair over at concord museum is black. in fact, the green chair is what would've been whe went emerson t set in it and many writing desk at were green. the chair has changed a little bit. what people notice is that when you sit in i

utah is a natural resource state, this includes mining and agriculture as critical natural resources, but also includes our national and state parks as well. so we truly believe in balancing both use and conservation, and we think that this is the best approach to leveraging all of our resources to generate revenues and create jobs. so focusing on energy in particular though, this is an important aspect of our economy. it contributes 9% to our gross state product. it is 2.2% of the state wages, although it is only 1.1% of our employment number. so it indicates that these are very high paying jobs as has already been discussed, and it contributes $673 million in revenues, most recently in 2015. these revenues are really important to utah. they help to provide education to our students, and they also provide many other critical community services which had also already been mentioned. yes saw, like i think much of the country that is dependent on natural resource development, experience has been the best in natural resource development. since 2014 utah has been experiencing a decline in

that will result in liquefying natural gas and sending it by ship. i don't have a problem i'm all in favor of that but i'd like to see it done in a free market system where we sell it to the europeans the russians sell there's if we can get a better deal find we get a better deal i'm not in favor of. trade relations i want us to assert ourselves but i don't want us to become addicted to oriole about it and you know the e.u. came out and they said look for us the g. seven are of fundamental importance and traditionally you've always had these groups canada france germany italy japan and the united kingdom united states all of those two thirds of the global well have come together in a consensus and they've done these things and now you have the u.s. congress unilaterally saying we are simply going to act size dictatorial power over what happens i think it is a terrible terrible a bad mistake and. it reflects some some poor leadership on the part of the of the house and the senate i guess no one looks for total to do in their own backyard who had to se

gas instead by natural gas from the united states so the upshot is that one it would be very damaging to russia's economy but it would also be very coercive on europe and ilu is reacting very upset angrily towards these sanctions because in the end it's also aimed at them. exactly i wanted to actually quote what the you commission president john quad juncker said this morning regarding sanctions while quote the e.u. is fully committed to the russia saying sions regime the us bill could have unintended unilateral effects they impact the e.u. energy security interest this is dan if american allies are not even in fully support her fully support this the latest action i don't see is sustainable and frankly i see it is dangerous i mean why the u.s. is going out of its way to make enemies out of friends and. including russia frankly i would count on that list is just amazing to me and i would counter iran of that list you know if i can mention iran you know i was just there a few weeks ago and you know even donald trump admitted despite the fact that he didn't want to that iran is complyin

at this point russia counts for thirty eight percent of the european union's natural gas while the usa only accounts for two percent of the e.u. use natural gas imports you can bet some slick wall street syndicates would like to reverse that lineup so when you hear this explanation of the sanctions we'll continue to work with the house and the senate to put those tough sanctions in place on russia until the situation in ukraine is fully resolved don't forget about this one we are committed to securing your access to alternate sources of energy so poland and its neighbors are never again held hostage to a single supplier of energy u.s. leaders say that they don't like russia for all kinds of reasons but one thing they don't mention is that russia is a key exporter of oil and natural gas competing with the big monopolists cable baghban artsy new york. donald trump's son in law garrett kirshner has denied all accusations of collusion with russia during last year's election campaign he made a statement outside the white house let me be very clear i did not collude with russia nor do i know
