and they rose the most in washington d.c. of all places but overall i want to talk about some of obama's figures last night do you think that they really added up because we hear about a spending freeze at the same time all we hear about is innovation and education and infrastructure and you know working towards the future things that require spending money. yeah i mean it clearly doesn't add up you know if there is a pure spending freeze if we kept current discretionary spending at this level it only make a marginal him. down the deficit and the debt and the problem with this is you know this is very general talk about innovation in education infrastructure and third not it's not that all those things are horrible it's just that it's so tired it's so on original it's almost like we've completely run out of ideas that the only thing the president really knows how to advocate anymore is just these vague notions of infrastructure and education it is so boring it's really an inspiring which is too bad because the whole point of t

at the height of the storm, more than a half million people were without power many in the d.c. area. manhattan got more than a foot and a half of snow. so far this season, more than 50 inches have fallen on the city. that's twice the amount in a typical winter. in december, new york city officials were criticized for not responding quickly after a major storm. the mayor said the city has learned from those mistakes. >> clearing the streets remains our number one job and to do that, motorists should, please, please, refrain from driving. >> reporter: the storm shut down several major airports overnight leading to hundreds of cancellations. planes are flying again, but there are major delays. and thousands of travelers are stuck. >> we have no idea when we are even going to get out. >> reporter: this is the 6th major storm to hit the northeast this winter. and it's not even february. randall pinkston, cbs 5, new york. >> that's one way to get around. what are we like, 15 degrees above normal? >> like to gloat a little bit. >> not a little bit. a l !

well we spoke to on the d.c. told the very reporter who asked the controversial question after the briefing i was approached by a number of people and they talked to me very professional very calmly i would say in some instances even sympathetically they definitely knew where i was coming from and i was coming from the simple desire for the americans to have a discussion of this that this complete sense of and help prevent such incidents in the future what i was surprised later was to find in the blogs could respond to this from the white house press corps that many of them treated this resurgence of the cold war i think this is that it was definitely misplaced it looks like there is a double standard here where an american journalist in moscow was asking about internal politics of russia is a hero and the defender of human rights and democracy and if russian journalist in washington d.c. shows up on a sensitive subject over internal politics here then he's somehow and then you have the american people. when out o

once that happens, that creates the d.c. voltage that we want to send out to the inverter which turns it into a.c.. >> now i'm understanding, carl, based on what you talked about earlier. the fact that these modules are all connected means if their shadow cast on one module, there really is an impact across all of the modules. is that accurate? >> there is an impact anytime you have shading, it does affect the performance of the system. there is technology in place that recently that minimizes the effects of the shading. it's not like christmas tree lights where if you take out one bulb, the rest of it shuts down. there is protection in the modules themselves that allow the electricity to pass through it when it's shaded and the inverter is also getting some smart technology in them to be able to handle variances in the mod use due to shading. >> so it sounds like we need to take a look at this inverter, is that possible? >> sure, it's on the other side of the building on the roof. let's take a walk over there. >> let's do it
