Good question...Will Natural Gas Crush Alternative Energy In 2013?

Natural gas will remain king in 2013. And while it will continue to be dirt cheap, prices will start inching back up next year.

Also worth noting is that going forward, we're definitely going to see more trucks and buses running on natural gas.

We're also going to see approval on exports. The economics on exports are just too juicy to ignore.

Those who are properly positioned now in natural gas are going to see some nice, steady growth in 2013.

Domestic oil production will also remain strong, offering dozens of opportunities for investors. I'm particularly fond of some of the latest enhanced oil recovery technologies, like this one that's now being utilized by BP, Chevron (CVX), and Halliburton (HAL).

North Dakota will continue to pump out oil fortunes as well, and Arctic drilling will aggressively resume next year when the season starts up again.

Although I suspect to see more delays and more proof that the economics of many of these Arctic drilling operations simply don't make sense right now... And I don't even want to think about an oil spill up there, where it will be impossible to properly clean it up or control a gushing wellhead.

But you know how that goes... The bureaucrats and oil companies will worry about that when it happens. Brilliant!

Regardless, the Arctic drilling experiment will continue in 2013. But I'm putting my money on enhanced oil recovery and domestic operations in North Dakota for the big payday.

These are just a few of our predictions that we'll use to dictate our strategy in 2013.

Of course, nothing is set in stone...

Major geopolitical events, social unrest, economic recovery revisions, acts of God - all of these things can make us change course at any given time. We must be nimble.

Rest assured, either way - no matter what unfolds in 2013 - we will continue to grow and protect our wealth.

To a new way of life and a new generation of wealth...
