Dear reader,

Matt Simmons - considered one of the world's most prominent oil-industry insiders - recently revealed an energy source that he seems to believe could be the only real solution to our energy woes.

That's a pretty bold statement.

But this is Matt Simmons we're talking about. And he is one of the foremost authorities on Peak Oil.

Having once served as energy advisor to President Bush, Simmons now runs an independent investment bank that's acted as financial advisor in more than $123 billion of transactions in the energy industry.

Based on those credentials, you might want to see exactly what it is he's talking about.

The Proof is in the Numbers

Listen.

I've been at this for a long time.

Nearly a decade ago I was telling anyone who would listen to me that very soon, we'd all have an opportunity to clean up in renewable energy markets.

Most laughed and dismissed my analysis outright.

But those who paid attention are now sitting on small... ahem, large fortunes.

Even now, months after the market took a major nosedive, those who heeded our advice and loaded up on renewable energy plays - specifically, the opportunities we were screaming about from the rooftops - are swimming in profits. Stocks like...

And the opportunity I'm going to tell you about now - the very opportunity Matt Simmons recently clued us in on - could deliver the same kinds of triple-digit gains...and in less than 2 years!

The Only Energy Resource That Can
Power The Entire Globe...Forever!

Next to solar, the largest source of energy on the planet is ocean energy - the motion of waves and tides. Both sources are inexhaustible, but unlike solar (or really any other energy source on the planet), ocean energy is constant. Day or night, 24/7...it's always working. And it's always free!

Yet today, it's our largest untapped energy source.

In fact, compared to other renewable and non-renewable technologies, it's still very much in its infancy.

But that's all changing, thanks to a very real energy crisis and improved technology that has now enabled ocean energy to compete with every other energy resource in existence.

Just look at what is already being said about wave energy:

"Generation of electricity from wave energy will be economically feasible in the near future." - Science Daily

"Wave Power can produce electricity equal to all the dams that we have in the US right now." - Ocean Renewable Energy Coalition

"The technology has only been available for a few decades, yet we could meet almost 10% of our energy needs from wave power." - The Guardian

"Wave energy is more predictable than solar and wind energy, offering a better possibility of being dispatchable by an electrical grid." - Science Daily

"Wave energy is an emerging energy source that may add a viable generation option to the strategic portfolio." - Electric Power Research Institute

In fact, Matt Simmons is so bullish on energy from the ocean, he's now organizing a facility in Rockland, Maine called the Ocean Energy Institute.

Already, a venture capital fund has been set up to seed commercialized ocean energy ventures.

Based on Simmons' overwhelming success in the energy sector, you can be sure insiders are already set to make a nice chunk of change here.

And you can get a piece of this early action, too.

But time is definitely short.

The World Energy Council just recently released new estimates showing how ocean energy could supply twice as much electricity as the world now consumes.

And now, the big money's starting to pour in.

One company alone has already raised more than $80 million since that announcement.

But compared to what we'll soon see, that $80 million is peanuts.

Because this is, without a doubt, the biggest disruption the energy markets will ever see.

It'll rival the automobile and internet combined.

And the reason is simple...

Aside from water, there is absolutely nothing more crucial to the safety and security of the entire world than robust supplies of cheap energy. We are reliant upon it for our transportation, our food, our medicine, our clothing, our agriculture... it's everything that keeps the world moving.

And as we've already begun to see with oil, it is also the one thing that can bring the global community to its knees, if there isn't enough of it.

So needless to say, any energy resource that's infinite and inexpensive is an energy resource that will shape the next evolution of our energy economy.

And the few ocean energy companies that are producing power right now?

Well, let's just say that these are the companies that will usher in a new way of life, and a new generation of wealth.

Just like those who staked their claim to solar and wind back in the earlier part of this decade have made millions, those who stake their claim to ocean energy now will be in line for similar rewards in just a few years.

In fact, there's one company in particular that we believe could deliver gains in excess of 353% in less than two years.

Follow the Insiders

While marine energy is still "theoretical" to novice energy investors, those on the inside know that the word "theory" no longer applies.

After all, some ocean energy companies are not only producing power right now - they're actually landing power purchase agreements with the major utilities.

There is no better proof that your power generation can generate revenue than a power purchase agreement.

And the company that we recently added to our Alternative Energy Speculator portfolio has done just that.

A very small Canadian firm - one that few people even know exist - recently picked up a long-term deal with a major utility in California to deliver its juice to the grid.

Not surprisingly, there's an avalanche of money chasing this thing now.

But here's the best part...

That power purchase agreement is for one of the company's smallest projects.

Its largest project in Oregon is expected to deliver a full 100 megawatts when completed.

That's enough to power 67,500 homes - or about 23% of all the housing units in the entire state.

Again...

That's one project!

Wave Energy Conversion

This particular ocean energy company has developed what's known as a wave energy converter. Essentially these converters are modular devices that are moored several kilometers offshore where wave resources are the greatest.

The actual energy transfer takes place by converting the vertical component of wave kinetic energy into pressurized seawater via a two-stroke hose pump. The pressurized seawater is directed into a conversion system which has a turbine driving an electrical generator. The power is then transmitted to shore through an undersea transmission line.

Incidentally, 100 megawatts is more than twice the power needed for all the housing units in the county where this project is being developed.

The company has three additional projects underway too.

Of course, this company is also a very speculative play.

After all, the marine energy sector is still in its infancy compared to all the other energy sources we use today. And it's only now starting to gain a lot more attention, and more importantly, the large influxes of investment capital it needs to expand.

But that's what the Alternative Energy Speculator is all about - locking in on those little, undervalued stocks that most investors will only hear about after the fact.

There's no doubt that it's a risk vs. reward scenario.

Our portfolio, however, is living proof that - if you know how to play this sector - you can risk very little, and make an absolute fortune.

In fact, just on our three speculative solar plays, Alternative Energy Speculators have been cleaning up.

Take a look at these returns from just one year:

I'd tell you the names of these stocks, but they're still open positions, as we expect a lot more out of these before we take our profits.

We're also ahead on both of our speculative geothermal plays with one currently up 29.5%, and the other up 40.51%.

Of course, there's also our golden ocean energy play. This one's already delivered gains in excess of 126% since our initial recommendation.

Still, We've Barely Scratched the Surface

That's not even close to what we expect to pocket in the next couple of years - as the company gets closer to delivering power under the terms of its power purchase agreement.

Right now, the stock is insanely cheap - less than $0.20 a share.

But by the time these guys start delivering power, this could easily be a $1.00 stock.

Wave energy could also provide substantial electricity up and down the European coast, as well as along the west coasts of Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States. - BBC

Folks, you cannot find a better ground floor opportunity than that.

Granted, this is also a very thinly-traded stock.

But so was a little stock we recommended in Green Chip Stocks a few years ago, called World Water & Solar Technologies (OTCBB:WWAT)

We picked that one up when it was going for about $0.30.

In July, 2007, the stock hit a high of $2.52 a share.

That's a 740% gain in less than 3 years!

That, my friends, is how you get rich by playing these speculative alternative energy stocks.

And that's exactly the reason we started the Alternative Energy Speculator - to focus solely on these speculative alternative energy stocks that continue to deliver massive gains.

You see, with our flagship research advisory, Green Chip Stocks, we focus more on the safer, less-speculative "green" stocks. But after doing a bit of research, we found that many of our members wanted more of those higher-risk, yet higher-reward plays, like...

There are plenty more, too.

But this isn't about the profits we've already delivered.

With proper siting, conversion of ocean wave energy to electricity is believed to be one of the most environmentally benign ways to generate electricity. - Science Daily

This is about the next round of profits we're going to deliver for you - thanks to the Alternative Energy Speculator...and a very lucrative ocean energy stock that we expect to deliver gains in excess of 353% in less than two years.

And that's not all!

We know that there's more to "easy" money in the world than strictly energy. In fact, while people think that oil's the most important resource that makes the world go round, it can't touch our other area of expertise...

The number one resource you absolutely can't live without... water.

It might sound strange to some, but fresh water is in seriously scarce supply in many parts of the world. Take a look at some of the water research unveiled in my report:

And, right now, out of the hundreds of water companies out there, my team has located the five best on the planet. Each one services, and profits, from a different angle of the water industry - and in countries all over the globe.

You can read all about these companies and start collecting MASSIVE dividends today with your second bonus report, Water: Profiting from the Disappearance of the World's Most Valuable Resource!

The Cost for All This?

Here's the deal. Considering all the time that goes into uncovering these little-known, but highly profitable energy plays found in the Alternative Energy Speculator and the substantially larger gains involved, we had no choice but to make it somewhat pricier than our flagship Green Chip Stocks service.

In other words, we had to cover our own cost of unearthing these gems. Since we do a great deal of travel, meet with CEOs, and inspect many of the companies with our own eyes, it tends to get pricey... especially when you consider how many opportunities we turn down before we actually find one worth getting excited about.

That's why the normal membership fee to the Alternative Energy Speculator is $495 a year.

But listen. Because this is our introductory offer, I'm offering a one-shot deal:

Pick up the Alternative Energy Speculator, including your Bonus Report, Ocean Energy: A Tidal Wave of Profits, and the second water report, Water: Profiting from the Disappearance of the World's Most Valuable Resource, for only $199 a year!

That's a full 70% savings off the regular annual price - and you still get both reports, weekly emails, urgent buy and sell updates, and full access to the Alternative Energy Speculator site!

All for just $199 a year if you accept this offer today!

And here's my promise to you:

I will give you 30 days to examine our top-notch research and investment philosophy. If you decide that the Alternative Energy Speculator is not for you at any time during this trial period, simply let me know in the first 30 days, and I'll completely reimburse you every penny. That's right - every penny.
