Announcers outside the u. S. We have a chance to grow jobs tax revenues, infrastructure by expanding coal exports and i think it is a way to keep prices lower as well as create jobs, tax revenue for infrastructure. I was just handed the words we have on that. The east coast ports alone by shipping 70 million tons. Accompanies the own, manage, export commonwealth continue with longrange plans focusing on potential for your, asia, south america. Glad to see the east coast. The coal, senator barrasso from wyoming we have opportunities from wyoming to miami and getting back to expansion. And recognized the lowsulfur content. Thank you, madam chair. Seeing such rapid change. Capability is increasing. And would you see as the role, to change the way we think about energy, change our generation needs to facilitate time shifting, move us forward to a very different kind of grid than what we have experienced in the past. Thank you. Storage could be a game change and costs are coming down, distr
U. S. Rate. I just hope that the department can be aggressive and forward leaning in partnering with the delegation and utilities to solve the problem. Its not a gas problem as you know, and i think its going its going to take an all of the above kind of strategy in terms of permitting and its a really urgent problem for the region and i assume you agree with that. Yes, in fact, the very first field hearings we had for the qer were in new england driven by the gas pipeline issue and the representatives of all six governors were part of that meeting. Frankly, the remarks made were such that the governors felt they, you know, were going to have this under control, and would take care of it. In fact, i understand that next year in 2016, that there will be a substantial expansion of capacity taking gas into the boston area through there but further north is a challenge. There, i dont know how this turns out, and happy to work with you, senator king, and the well, this is a problem of our s
Covert path is in question and more challenging. And while the framework argument spells out an extensive and intrusive inspection regime over the entire supply chain for Irans Nuclear program, there still will be concerns that iran would cheat and break out toward a new bomb, toward a bomb. But given all the various restrictions and inspections that are in place throughout the supply chain, iran would have to cheat in more than one way and not get caught. So my question is, can you talk about all the ways that iran would have to cheat in order to get around the terms of the agreement and set up a secret Uranium Enrichment Program . Sure. Thats a big question. Can you answer it in the five remaining . Right. But i think youve already put your finger on it in the sense that the transparency and verification elements that will be put in place in an agreement first of all, are unmatched to those in any other situation. In terms of their comprehensiveness and intrusiveness. But specificall
Transformers are so important. Maybe explain that a little bit. But clearly there are approaches we could take as a federal entity to push further on where the grid needs to go. And you have done a good job in the report of combining the elements of different types of energy sources. Obviously, i dont think its called out so specifically in the report, but to me the biggest advent here is just the notion of distributed generation. The same kind of distributed generation that the internet brought us is bringing us distributed generation opportunities for energy which means, then, you know, again, it becomes a platform play. But what do you think are the schematics that we need to do . So how would you approach this next phase of working on grid modernization . Well, on the r d side that you mentioned, i mean you know, in broad strokes, i think the much more aggressive introduction and utilization of i. T. With the grid is absolutely critical. Just, again, as an anecdote last week when w
Channel which i understand would open up the channel appropriately. I can go back and look again if youd like. Thats my understanding at least. Thank you. Secondly, the mox facility in charleston, South Carolina dr. Savannah river site. Theres a recent line at the Aerospace Corporation gave unfavorable to the project and out of line from reports from army corp of engineer and suggested another 30 years to completion opposed to eight years its taken to get so far depending on who you speak to. I think aerospace has 50 contractors say 65 and any thoughts on that one . I what experiences does the Aerospace Corporation have on the projects . Thats the first question, and, two, can we have transparency to assumptions because its a complicated project. Assumptions mean everything. Were happy, by the way on the last part, to have completely transparent briefings, what wed like to do on that, and the Aerospace Corporation has been a contractor quite frequently to the nsa part of d.
