sylvia hall tonight reports on the outlook for this year's domestic energy. >> reporter: the u.s. imports nine million barrels of crude oil per day. industry experts say we don't have to. in fact, right now the untapped energy supplies in the united states far exceed demand. >> all the oil that has been consumed over the past 100 years doesn't come anywhere close to what oil is produceable in this country. >> reporter: but still, citizens for affordable energy c.e.o. john hofmeister expects conditions abroad to import volatile energy prices this year as america continues its dependence on foreign oil. just before the new year, iran bumped up prices when it threatened to close the strait of hormuz-- a major mid-east artery for oil tankers. >> i'm expecting a higher price outlook for 2012, unless and until we get an energy policy in this country that really seriously focuses on domestic fuel-- domestic electricity for our use. >> reporter: he says a clear, long-term plan for using american resources would help stabilize prices even as the demand for energy grows. jack gerard of the

as sylvia hall reports, the change spells opportunity for some businesses but also poses new challenges for businesses trying to protect their brands. >> reporter: we think of the internet as a world of endless possibilities, tailed by a uniform "dot com." or "dot org." or dot net. right now, web addresses can end only 22 ways. icann, the organization that issues digital domains, will start accepting applications for more on thursday i ta vemohat could add hundreds, or even thousands, of new top domains to the internet. >> this heralds a new era in the domain name system, and a significant new milestone in the history of the internet. this will be the largest opening of top-level domains-- those are names to the right of the dot-- in the history of the internet. >> reporter: that means web addresses will open up to new languages and new characters. companies and interest groups can also buy their own names. critics worry the application process will open an expensive name-grab where companies and non-profits empty their pockets to protect their brands. >> a lot of companies have said th

sylvia hall, "nightly business report," washington. >> tom: larry zimpleman is the c.e.o.principal financial. he joins us from his firm's headquarters in des moines, iowa. >> larry, happy new year and happy caucus evening to you. >> happy new year to you tom. it's nice to be with you, thank you for having me. >> tom: how has the economy been playing as a political issue leading up to tonight votes. >> well i think the economy, tom, is always going to be one of the most important elements in any voter's decision about who they want to support. but i do think we're a little bit different here in iowa, the economy in general is a little bit better than it is in much of the rest of the country. and unemployment here is in the 6% range, so again we see it being about two thirds the national average. so the economy remains very important but i think it's about the future direction of this country. it's about how are we going to get some of the long term budget deficits under control. those are kind of issues i think are playing into the politics this time. >> tom: back to the io

sylvia hall reports on what's driving unemployment in the military community. >> reporter: u.s. military troops deploy around the world, sacrificing their time and effort to serve. back at home, their wives and husbands often find themselves dealing with a different sacrifice. >> my career came to a screeching halt when i married my husband. >> reporter: cristin orr schiffer is a job seeker with a master's degree. but she's not your typical applicant. a navy wife, she's lived 11 places in 10 years and is planning a move to hawaii. today, she joined more than 1,300 military spouses in search of jobs that fit the military lifestyle. she says they're often hard to find. >> so there's problems of continuity, there's also problems of seniority. every time you start, you start on the bottom again, because you start at a new organization. or maybe you've moved up one step for every three of your moves. >> reporter: statistics back up orr schiffer's story. one in four military spouses is unemployed, and that number may be much higher. many of the spouses we spoke with here say they have

sylvia hall takes a closer look at the issues facing european policymakers. >> reporter: in a meeting room in brussels, almost all of europe's leaders agreed not to spend outside their means. the u.k. and the czech republic were the holdouts. more than 1,000 miles away, debt-ridden greece hangs in the balance. the country's unemployment rate stands at almost 20% and it's facing a 14.5 billion euro bond payment due in march. germany has the finances to help, but it's demanding painful budget cuts in return. political economist matthias matthijs says germany may be holding a hard, dangerous line. >> it makes the imbalances in the european economy even worse, rather than solving them. and i think it's the imbalances of creditors and debtors in europe that was at the heart of this crisis, not the fiscal sins of all other countries. >> reporter: he says the focus on budget cutting-- a policy called "austerity"-- in europe has the potential to make matters worse putting people out of work and distracting from pro-growth measures. >> if you can grow an economy, and we can bring down the debt
