I fear another awful set of statistics i dont know why more people arent investing in this they want people to go back to work they dont want to let people down so it cant be too discouraging. The whole world is hanging on the numbers. If this outbreak gode badly, it could turn into a crisis for the globe. Youll have executives fearing for their lives.

Of Liquified Natural Gas exports in the global market, the recent growth of u. S. Exports and concerns about Energy Relations with china and russia. The hearing was held by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. Manufacturers and residential consumers alike. We have such a massive Resource Base that we can send substantial volumes abroad. Were now leading the world in natural Gas Production. Hopefully soon well also lead in exports. A few of those experts are here to tell us what is driving these trends, where they may be headed and how u. S. L and g fits into the equation. I use this term quite frequently but i hope were going to hear some ideas this morning on how to make our exports even more competiti competitive. Im particularly excited coming from alaska about the role my state can play.

So, a couple of years ago, we had been working on fracking at food and waiter watch at as the First National group to call for a ban on fracking, and i started looking at some of the statistics about how far we had come with Renewables Since the mid1990s when i worked on this project. And it was stunning. As of 2015, only five percent of our electricity is generated from solar and wind energy. We need to do so much better and, yet, here in a state like massachusetts, where youre not really suffering from fracking, but you are suffering from all of the infrastructure to really promote fracking and allow it to expand. So, i decided to write this book because you really need to know where youve been to know where youre going, and i wanted to see how wed ended up with this mon knoppizeed oil and gas industry that has so much power over our democra
