tracy: we also cited energy ministers talking to his counterpart in the u.s., rick perry, saying thereility of importing u.s. gas to make the region basically guess independent by the year 2030. is that kind of an odd one? you think middle east, you think drenched in oil, gas deposits in the region. but maybe the uae does not want to get them from qatar anymore. robin: it is interesting. u.s. liquefied natural gas has already arrived. cargoes have come to the uae. it is not a first suggestion. this region has a lot of gas, gas reserves. struggling to get them into production to meet demands which have been growing quickly over the past two years. they're reforming their markets, introducing more renewable energy, nuclear power in the uae. certainly, it is good for them to have the option of getting u.s. gas. it is showing the exports are changing the world market. even some smaller markets could have access to imports without having to look to the big traditional exporters of energy like qatar. tracy: all change in the oil world market. robin mills, thank you so much for joining us thi

for sanchez was running governor against rick perry. at the top of the ticket, there was an african-american on the democrat side and a hispanic. about, at thatng time, a 25% turnout of latinos and 15% of african-american but there was no historical data to back that up. just because there were two candidates on the list that were black and brown. could i argue that these candidates were anglo that more anglos would vote? no. and so, you have to look at other questions and see how they are answering them to see if the interest is there and wait the data accordingly. out talking started tonight about cell phones and landmines and the percentages of each. i think we had three hands go up. i have a landline. how do you account for that? how do you account for people that do not take the entire maybe walkefuse -- the crowd through how you actually get people on the phone. mr. baselice: when i started in had 166ness in 1989, we phones down in houston, texas. they were eventually bought out by gallup. phyllis was the head of the phone bank. s

secretary of energy, rick perry, with the aie executive, co-chaired a high level summit which broughther more than 20 countries and the ceo's of the world's largest energy companies that share commitment to ccus, we must build on this commitment and now move forward and act. so finally, to wrap up, wrap up, let me conclude with some main messages. global coal demand is set to stagnate in 2022. the increase is a blip. second, the structural, but slow decline in china. china is taking place. with fluctuations up and down determined by market needs, so we may see china go up as we did in 2017 blip, but it can go down again, too, depending on conditions. india, south asia, and southeast asia are leading the growth that offsets the declines that we're forecasting. the global trade numbers are actually contracting. but uncertainty in this estimate is pretty high given all the uncertainties in the big importers. and finally, coal use in the future will be constrained without carbon capture utilization and storage becoming practical and implemented widely. now, at today's launch in delhi afte
