The Saudi Arabia of Coal???

Think we have a 250-year supply of coal?

Not even close!

That wildly thrown-around 250-year supply quote is based on USGS estimates from the 1970s. But if you look at the most recent 2007 USGS estimates, you'll find we have much less than previously reported.

In fact, according to a National Research Council report - which was mandated by Congress in 2007 - we may only be looking at about 100 years of remaining coal.

And that's actually based on current rates of consumption.

If we end up using more coal to meet our growing demand, that rate of consumption could be much higher.

The End of Natural Gas

Natural gas won't cut it either.

According to the Energy Information Administration, the world will hit a short gas plateau by 2020, and by around 2025 go into decline.

Of course, here in the US, natural gas production did actually start to grow in 2009 - thanks to what's known as horizontal shale production.

The only problem is that unconventional shale gas wells deplete extremely fast - delivering 60 to 90% of their production in the first year!

For the sake of long-term, sustainable solutions - this is not promising.

But wait, there's more...

Don't Hold Your Breath For Nuclear

By now, you've probably heard plenty about a potential nuclear renaissance here in the U.S.

But I bet few have explained to you where we're supposed to get the uranium for any kind of nuclear expansion.

In 2007, Gerald Grandy, the president of Cameco Corporation indicated that he expects uranium demand to grow at 3% annually for the next decade... but doesn't see uranium mining being able to keep pace.

My friend, Cameco Corporation is the largest uranium producer in the US!

The fact is, the uranium supplies we have access to today can only enable us to maintain our current nuclear infrastructure. There simply isn't enough to add another 40, 50, 100 new nuclear power plants.

And even if there was enough uranium - we still lack basic building materials and skilled labor. The latter being a problem that even the nuclear industry readily admits.

According to the Nuclear Energy Institute, in the next few years up to 19,600 nuclear workers - 35% of the workforce - will reach retirement age. These are workers we need to not only build the new plants... but to operate existing facilities too.

And it's not like we have a wealth of qualified workers racing to get into the nuclear business.

Take a look at what Dale Klein, the Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had to to say about skilled workers in the nuclear industry...

While nuclear is certainly a hot button in Washington these days, I wouldn't put much faith into a renewed nuclear renaissance until we can get enough folks here in the US to build and operate these things.

The End of Oil

There's not much to be said here that hasn't already been said a thousand times before. So let's quickly review a few key issues...

• We now find one barrel of conventional oil for every 4 we consume

• New wells drilled over the last few years have nearly doubled, but production has remained flat.

• About 75% of the world's current oil production is from fields that were discovered prior to 1970, which are past their peaks and beginning their declines. And the remaining 25% comes from fields that are now 10 to 15 years old.

Bottom line: The days of cheap, abundant oil are over. And if you don't believe it, just look at what the experts are saying...

"Shell estimates that after 2015 supplies of easy-to-access oil and gas will no longer keep up with demand." - Jeroem van de Veer, CEO of Shell

"Our view is that oil production will peak in the near future. We need to develop power trains for alternative energy sources." - Katsuaki Watanbe, President, Toyota

"The easy, cheap oil is over. Peak oil is looming." - Shokri Ghanem, Head of Libya's National Oil Corporation

"In the longer run, unless we take serious steps to prepare for the day that we can no longer increase production of conventional oil, we are faced with the possibility of a major economic shock - and the political unrest that would ensue." - Dr. James Schlesinger, former U.S. Energy Secretary

"One thing is clear: the era of easy oil is over. What we do next will determine how well we meet the energy needs of the entire world in this century and beyond." - David O'Reilly, CEO, Chevron

So where does this leave us?

Without an immediate overhaul of our energy economy, the depletion of fossil fuels could prove to be a crisis more devastating than most could ever imagine.

The fact is, everything we do depends on some form of energy.

Our entire way of life, and all of our economic projections, are built on the assumption that there will always be more energy when we want it.

And that's why we're about to witness...

It all boils down to Renewable Energy - the only form of energy that will exist beyond oil, coal, natural gas and nuclear.

It is infinite, free, and despite the avalanche of misinformation that's constantly spewed from naysayers and mainstream media - can actually generate enough power to satisfy all of our energy needs.

Take a look...

• Solar - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has indicated that enough electric power for the entire country could be generated by covering about 9% of Nevada with solar power systems. This is a plot of land roughly 92 miles by 92 miles.

• Wind - The DOE has also stated that wind could provide 5,800 quads of energy each year. That's about 15 times the current global energy demand.

• Geothermal - According to M.I.T., there are over 100 million quads of accessible geothermal energy worldwide. The world only consumes about 400 quads.

• Marine Energy - The Electric Power Research Institute has estimated the wave energy along the U.S. coastline at 2,100 Twh per year. That's half the total U.S. consumption of electricity.

• Hybrids - According to the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, if all cars on the road were hybrids, and half were Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles by 2025 - U.S. imports would be reduced by 8 million barrels per day. That's about 80% of our daily consumption!

Of course, most of this information won't be found on any of the dozen or so cable news networks. You'd also be hard-pressed to read about this stuff in most newspapers or magazines.

But this is the information that renewable energy advocates have been using for nearly a decade to further the industry's progress.

It's also the information that Green Chip investors (those who profit from the integration of renewable energy), have been using to make their fortunes.

And I'll tell you how to get a piece of this action in just a moment.

But first, let me introduce myself. My name is Jeff Siegel.

From 1994 to 2001, I worked for one of the largest financial publishing companies in North America... and learned about the financial markets from some of the top investment minds in the world.

But my real education actually began in 2001, when I began traveling the world, investigating global energy trends.

What I found was that the rapid depletion of fossil fuels has put the entire global community in a very vulnerable position... both economically and geopolitically.

But it has also created fertile ground for a decades-long renewable energy bull market.

So in an effort to help investors capitalize on this, I returned home in 2004 and launched my first issue of Green Chip Stocks Premium.

Now I'll be the first to admit that my early analyses of renewable energy drew a lot of criticism... and skepticism. But after honing in on dozens of double and triple-digit winners in the renewable energy market, many have since traded their preconceptions of renewable energy for profits.

Of course, the best part is - we're just getting started!

Bar None, the 21^st Century's Greatest Investment Opportunity

The fact is, grabbing your share of the renewable energy market now is like getting a piece of the automobile market back in 1908. And I don't mean just Ford, either. I'm talking about the market as a whole. Oil, rubber tires, road construction... the whole nine yards.

And that's where Green Chip Stocks Premium comes in.

You see, my team and I were the first to publish an independent investment research letter dedicated to the renewable energy market.

And being first has paid off. Along the way, we've delivered gains like...

• 545.95% on XsunX (OTCBB:XSNX)

• 218% on Regi U.S. (OTCBB:RGUS)

• 246.25% on U.S. Geothermal (AMEX:HTM)

• 272.9% on Calgon Carbon Corp. (NYSE:CCC)

• 740% on World Water & Power (OTCBB:WWAT)

Of course, those are past profits.  And clearly, we're focused on our next round.

In fact, we've just published a new report that highlights our next 5 renewable energy plays that we expect to absolutely crush it.

It's called 5 Bargain Renewable Energy Stocks to Own NOW, and it outlines the five renewable energy stocks that we believe will deliver the biggest gains over the next 3 to 5 months.

P.S.  Some are speculating that an energy transformation under the new administration is little more than hot air. Don't believe it for a second. At the top of Obama's "green sweep" is new Energy Secretary Steven Chu... the first energy secretary since President Jimmy Carter who's not a career politician, military man, or chemical and power company executive.

 

Rather, Chu is a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and climate expert hell bent on achieving real energy solutions. And within this massive infrastructure investment lies real money-making opportunities that you can only find at Green Chip Stocks Premium. Isn't it time you got in?
