All this week, our resident natural resource expert Sean Brodrick has been sharing his insights on the current state of the energy sector. Sean has already explained why crude oil is rapidly losing its ability to sustain our world’s growing demand for energy … and that’s something I think we can all agree on. But now in this eye-opening article, he gives you the plain truth about some of the alternatives that are being talked about right now … along with more details on the one solution that Sean thinks IS going to usher in a “New Fuel Revolution” and make some investors very wealthy along the way. — Ron |

The year is 1979. And with the Arab oil embargo in full swing, Americans are coming face-to-face with an unpleasant truth — that our country has become dependent on foreign oil.
President Jimmy Carter’s answer to the crisis was to set an example. He called for a comprehensive campaign to conserve energy and famously installed solar panels on the White House.
As he proudly unveiled the new installation, President Carter also announced new plans to finance solar energy … all in an effort to help America become energy independent.
Of course, we all know how that turned out.
And 30 years later, Carter’s dream of solar-fueled energy independence was resurrected by President Obama … only to meet a similar end with companies like Solyndra, the failed solar manufacturer that received $535 million in government support.

Considering these things, it’s no surprise that the average investor is pretty jaded about alternative energy right now.
But as I’m going to explain today, there IS one viable alternative to oil that’s already available to us right now … a source of fuel that is quietly gaining more and more share of the world’s energy market … and ushering in what I believe is truly a “New Fuel Revolution.”
This New Fuel Revolution is not a pipe dream. It’s here and it’s happening. And it’s going to create a fundamental shift in the energy markets that could be VERY profitable for investors like us.
In fact, I have been digging up stories of everyday people who are ALREADY cashing in on this New Fuel Revolution. More on that in a minute, though.
First …
Why Solar, Wind and Other
Alternative-Energy Sources
Just Aren’t Ready Yet
Before I go on, I’d like to let you know that I DO believe renewable energy is still a great idea for the future.
Unfortunately, it’s just not ready to solve the world’s energy problem TODAY.
Why? It’s all in the details …
Take wind farms, for example.
I’ve read stories of wind farms that could sell you electricity for as little as 1 cent per kilowatt-hour.
But there’s just one problem: These wind farms are way off the grid … so there’s no way to get this power to consumers.
Meanwhile, solar is something you can install on the roof of your home.
But without government subsidies, the cost savings aren’t there yet. Solar panels are still relatively inefficient, so you’ll only save a fraction of your energy bill in the end.
Oh, and then there are also hydrogen fuel cells. Remember how all of our cars were supposed to run on them by now?
That “energy solution” has never translated to the real world because hydrogen-fueled cars are way too expensive, and hydrogen fuel is too explosive.
Even electric cars still have drawbacks!
Take the Chevy Volt. Its promise is tantalizing … but it hasn’t lived up to that promise in real life.
Fox News host Eric Bolling recently tried out a Chevy Volt for a week. After two nights of charging the Volt at his home for 12 hours, he was on his 20-mile commute to work when the Volt ran out of juice in the Lincoln Tunnel!
There ARE other electric cars that work much better, such as the Nissan Leaf. But the source of that electricity still isn’t really coming from clean sources like solar or wind power, anyway … at least, not right now.
So yes, each of these energy alternatives has its own advantages and disadvantages, and I do believe they’ll continue to gain some traction in the next few decades.
But the World’s Energy Problems
Can’t Wait Years, Let Alone Decades!
As I’ve explained over the last few days, we’ve already reached the point at which annual crude oil production has peaked.
And a skyrocketing global population — along with a massive worldwide increase in living standards — is creating an even-stronger demand for not just oil, but ALL types of energy.
Unfortunately, none of that is going to improve or reverse … it’s only likely to get much worse.
Meanwhile … while a lot of buzz has been revolving around hybrid cars, and solar and wind power … a quiet — and very REAL — New Fuel Revolution is already happening right under our noses!
[Editor’s note: Sean’s presentation — “How the New Fuel Revolution Can Make You Rich” — is going online TODAY at noon Eastern time. It’s free and no registration is necessary. Simply click here shortly before noon Eastern!]
Again, I’m not tilting at windmills … or other forms of green energy like solar or geothermal. This New Fuel Revolution is not about those alternatives, but instead something that’s already been around for a long time.
And it’s being used all over the world.
What’s recently changed is the TECHNOLOGY involved with this type of fuel … as well as new TECHNIQUES that are allowing us to get at it more efficiently … transport it more economically … and harness its power in more useful ways.
In addition to the simple supply-and-demand factors, THOSE are really the two driving forces behind this New Fuel Revolution.
And for investors, the most important part is that, with these innovative new techniques and technologies … and with all the evidence of greater and greater adoption of this alternative fuel source around the world … comes absolutely huge profit potential.
Based on everything I’ve uncovered, I think this story is going to explode into the mainstream this year.
Which is why I’ve been working so hard to break the story first … and why I’m preparing a brand-new presentation that GOES LIVE TODAY AT NOON Eastern Time.
In this free webinar, called “How the New Fuel Revolution Can Make You Rich,” I’m going to tell you:
- What source of fuel I believe is going to revolutionize the energy landscape — not someday but NOW …
- How everyday Americans are already making huge fortunes from this revolution … and why even-bigger profits lie ahead for investors like us …
- And most importantly, details on the specific companies that I believe will rocket higher as this New Fuel Revolution continues taking the world by storm!
Viewing this presentation won’t cost you a penny, and there’s no registration required. All you have to do is click this link at noon today to be among the first to see my brand-new presentation, “How the New Fuel Revolution Can Make You Rich.”
Again, I realize that it’s easy to be jaded about alternative energy.
After our experience with the solar “solutions” of the past, it’s easy to assume that things won’t ever change.
But I have plenty of evidence that proves this revolution IS already taking place.
And the fact that most other investors have yet to recognize it is exactly what gives the New Fuel Revolution so much potential!
So if you’re willing to go against the herd … if you’re curious about the global transformation in energy — and how you can cash in on this New Fuel Revolution — make sure you watch my presentation as soon as it goes live later today!
Yours for trading profits,
Sean

I believe the year should be 1973! It throws the whole analysis and credibility into question. Please issue a correction for your own credibility sake!
On June 30, 1979, 32 solar panels were installed on the roof of the White House above the Oval Office to heat water in the staff kitchen, which was often used by President Carter.

This is all a bunch of smoke and mirros t distract you suckers from how crappy your portfolios with The Weiss Boys are doing..
..and it’s gonna get worse and worse..
I suspect Sean is building up to investment ideas about the predicted natural gas gas boom. Anyways here’s a good editorial on US energy resources and natural gas : http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-price-growth
Commentary and charts about declining gasoline and energy demand has been making the rounds http://www.oftwominds.com/blogfeb12/gasoline-tanking02-12.html
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-its-not-just-gasoline-consumption-thats-tanking-its-all-energy
The major bloggers out there admit that this is in part due to better fuel economy/MPG but they also see the decline as an indicator of economic weakness. I read somewhere that average miles driven is way down too…obvious demand destruction as people reduce discretionary driving.
“..people reduce discretionary driving”???…..wouldn’t ya say it’s simply a matter of less commuters (unemployment) from a few years ago??…that’s not discretionary driving…
Your data-synthesis/conclusions have been less than “super” so far…yer making it way too complicated…
Natural gas??…good luck..it ain;t new and it ain’t an “alternative energy” in the spirit and nomenclature there of…
Yo obvious have no ties to the Mid-West working world…..
..and your links talking about a decline in all energies actually supports my critique of Mike The Boy Blunder” ballyhooing MLP’s and his brainiac idea to start entry points now in said vehicles..
so…I thank you for supporting the stupdity which is Weiss Research….
It actually is “complex” issue with many factors/variables. Of course unemployment is factor in less gasoline consumption; so is people ordering online (and having it shipped) instead of driving to the store…as are empty homes a factor in less energy consumption. Some of the factors are due to efficiencies and some are due to the less than stellar “recovery” in the real (vs. asset) economy.
People of all types, including the poor and unemployed, who are too far from mass/public transportation have “non-discretionary” driving in their lives including their commute to work, trips to the supermarket, trips to the doctor, etc. So I see people (like myself) reducing the optional (discretionary) driving due to the increased cost. Check out the Dow Transport sector and the recent articles about Dow theory for further evidence of pressure on companies due to fuel costs.
Yer so young…
You don’t think the transportation Industry has ever been under incredible fuel costs pressure before??…
You don’t think people have made choices to cut their driving habits before?/
Is this the first time you’ve seen these dynamics happen??..
what you fail to see is the incredible innovation that comes from these pressures..
Do you think emissions standards were easy to overcome??..do you think engines are more effecient now or in the 70’s???…
The DOW Theory is just that..a theory…..
You have so much to learn…and yer gonna go broke trying to catch up to the curve..
Hi Sean
One of the worlds most stupid governments sending their country broke with debt is Australia. This moronic lot have introduced a carbon dioxide tax (that’s right the stuff you breath out) and are also wasting money to support the car industry for vehicles which pumps out carbon monoxide. So industry down under have started announcing unprecedented job cuts to avoid the co2 tax. Their government is just so stupid and to think Wayne Swan their treasurer was given a gong as the worlds greatest treasurer by the europeans recently. What a stuffed up world we live in. Anyway back to making money out of it. Regards. Howard
More limited fossil fuels is an extremely dumb idea. We already know what will happen to us if we invest in Natural Gas. The big boys will manipulate it’s price to our detriment. Those greedy weasels want to send us all to the poor house by EXPORTING Liquefied Natural Gas. Causing us to pay through the nose for Natural Gas here. Most anyone can make Ethanol out of MANY things. Corn being one of the worst choices. See http://www.alcoholcanbeagas.com for real Alternative Energy that has a long history until the big boys (Rockefeller) caused it to be prohibited so he could sell his trash fuel called gasoline. If you don’t want to be held hostage to fossil fuel manipulators you will need to invest in something that is can burn in cars, power plants, stoves, planes, etc. There is more than enough unused and underutilized non prime farmland to power the whole nation on Ethanol. Do your homework. Don’t believe the oil industry bought and paid for “university/professor” “studies”. They are nonsense. Brazil gets 6-8 times energy out and input. We may be able to do better but don’t need to. Put america to work providing our own clean safer fuel.
There’s no modern conspiracy against ethanol; corn based ethanol was subsidized by the government since…more than a decade. It makes sense for Brazil since they are a major sugar producer; from what I’ve read is that more energy is extracted from Sugar based ethanol than corn. And you’re right that Americans are already (and will increasingly) pay more for domestically refined fuel, natural gas, and coal since it is being increasingly exported. Gasoline has become our countries #1 export recently. In a western world awash in fiat currency we’re seeing the people of the emerging markets have stronger currencies and more purchasing power (while ours declines). Thus they are now competing with us in the global competition for resources.
Also, in a world where the purchasing power of fiat currencies is being debased the worlds poor (especially in emerging markets) are finding it increasingly difficult to afford food. That coupled with food shortages and food export restrictions, in countries like Russia, related to droughts and climate change in general make it a bad idea IMO to divert more of the world’s food supply into people’s gas tanks.
Something interesting going on. We in India nearly buy at double price what you pay in USA. Here the government is not at all bothered about alternate energies. I think people won’t think of alternative till they get benefit out of it. So If fuel prices go further up and make many people CAR less, people start using the alternates.
No worry, nature will teach us all the things.
Sean should check out the recent article by Aeberman on theoildrum.com in which he argues that the available Nat. Gas supplies may last 23 years. Also the Nat Gas market is being manipulated by companies that have fortunes invested – but the current return on Nat.Gas is so low that these companies will go bust.
John S.
but..but..but..I thought anyting in the markets that positioned ot up is simply levitated and manipulated??..what gives??…
Are you guys asking people to invest in something that is manipulated and can destroy wealth just as fast as everything else you bray about??
Yea!!!!!….then let’s start entry points in the MLP’s!!!!!…
The Volt has a gasoline generator, which gives the car as much juice as it needs as long as there is gasoline in the car. So how could it “run out of juice” in the Lincoln Tunnel unless the Fox news driver planned it that way?
If you want to see an exciting alternative to fossil fuels, watch a documentary called “Fuel”. Scientists are taking raw sewage, feeding it to algae, and making fuel that you can use to run your car, heat your house, and manufacture with. And, the process removes pollutants from the atmosphere. It’s not science fiction, they’re actually doing it today!
