-- marissa mayer? marissa is out of a job. part i don't want to be of anything like that. that would leave her out of the loop. i think she had more than she wants to do. emily: paul have is this play after yahoo! and for marissa mayer? paul: she is out of a job. i think he gets a bad rap here. terms of the selling process we end up with a single bidder for practical purposes which is verizon. there might be some financial buyers willing to do it. amalie: what you think would be most attractive for the company?

we need a subsidy. .articularly for swansea we need to be compatible with nuclear. that could radically reduce it. an equivalent price. it gets more and more advantageous as we increase the size of the project. and we have a learning curve. wind, they had proved as they did more projects for the work. a massive decline in price. just the scale of the project is enough. and on top of that will have economies of scale. these turbines are very clever. they are not nuclear reactors. the united kingdom will have mechanical engineers. a 40% shortage of power. you can argue that may be 30%. we always have an energy mix. this gives you predictable security power that becomes more and more efficient. we have a climate change tax in the united kingdom. this is such an obvious thing to be developing. you suddenly got oil prices at $30 per barrel. how does that affect your long-term operations. how competitive is conveyed. >> i think it helps. the idea that anyone is going to put a 10 million pounds project into mothballs is gone. is there on the u.s. economy on shale gas?

this week's deep dive into renewable energy. a futuristic technology that could in fact be closer to reality than we think it is. zero missions power stations. that is what the start of net power can do. by reimagining the steam powered turbines we've known since the dawn of the industrial age. the new design would still use fossil fuels but it's only byproduct would be carbon dioxide. sure enough to use for other purposes. i caught up with net power ceo bill brown. to see how the technology would work. every single way of making electricity from fossil fuels has had one component forever. that is steam. we boil some water. we expand the water from a big piece of water and we pushed through a turbine it turns and it makes electricity that is the way we've been doing it for a long time. the problem with steam is that about 50% of the energy from steam cycles is wasted. it goes into the air. it doesn't stay in the cycle. what we did was decided how can we keep the heat in the system? we take oxygen and natural gas and. theept it in the system demonstration plan is being built southeast of houston texas. it is being built by exelon. toshiba is providing the turbines. a year from now it will fire up. our goal is to make it such that no matter what the price of that will not be a factor because we will be of a 100% of the carbon. we are at 59% efficient. if we capture all the carbon dioxide. somewhere roughly between 800 and $1200 per unit. we will cost the same. ambulance to cost we capture 100% of the carbon and we have there's a huge market for something called enhanced oil recovery. their 450 miles of pipeline all around this country. carbon dioxide is a pain center for oil. it gets more oil out of it. at the same time we can put some fuels ando the ground other beneficial chemicals. we think for instance in the united states if we are talking with some of the biggest power companies in the united states they are very interested in this technology because they realize the possibility that this becomes the best available control technology. any new technology will have to beat us. we are also focusing on china. and india. they are focused on building coal plants as far as the eye can see. we're looking at china and india as the seniormost reaches of both the government and the private sector. emily: a story we are watching they are firing many employees at mashable. internet media companies are trying to reorganize. shifting from politics and world news to entertainment. spacex gets ready to ride once again. why the launch is more important than ever for elon musk. ♪ into: getting astronauts space is expensive not to mention risky. a handful of private companies are working to bring the price down. in this edition of out of this world, we look at space taxis. historyfirst time in nasa wants to handoff routine international space station resupply missions to private companies. there is much more at stake than that. willpace taxi companies help transport astronauts soon and after that tourists. including companies elon musk's spacex will ferry nasa supplies. we have lift off of spacex a falcon nine. needsice of these trips to come down. space entrepreneurs are counting on two words. reusable rockets. booster rockets sibley burned up on reentry. musk says creating booster rockets that can be reused will reduce the cost of the trip 100 fold. both companies successfully landed rockets to touchdown. his reaction was welcome back baby. since the spatial shuttle program ended in 2011, nasa has been focusing on mars and the farther reaches of space. as nasa'ss russia only option for propelling astronauts into orbit. some argue that private competition will bring down the price. and with that the cost of space exploration. there are very real safety concerns. it crashed on a test flight in october 2014 killing the pilot. tragedy,on to being a it could end space tourism altogether. for now nasa's only option seems to be russia. emily: spacex has another big launch planned for friday. it will attempt to deliver supplies to the space station. module thatflatable may one day be used for space hotels. it brings us a step closer to space taxis. eric: there are two things that spacex needs to achieve tomorrow. the first is getting this rocket and his cargo successfully to the space station. in june of last year for last time you tried to deliver failed andhe rocket it was a catastrophic explosion. they have recovered from it and they have launched rockets since then. not to the space station. they also need to nail the landing. it is so is been exciting to watch takeoffs. notice time to watch them land. as the video indicated making these launches reusable is the key to getting the cost down. amalie: what is the timeframe for passengers?
