Coal is the burning briquette of opportunity now and in the next 6 months; I expect to double my own money in this energy alternative.

Three big reasons:

Oil at $100. At these levels, power stations switch out of oil, out of natural gas and hand out shovels. I’m actually not joking. Coal is the cheapest energy on the plant now and, happily, most of it lies under our own boots and not under the Gucci sandals of corrupt sheiks.


Coal got green. It’s clean. Coals big drawback has always been that it burns dirty. Clean it up, convert in into liquid diesel, and you’ve turned low-grade coal you’d otherwise discard in slag heaps into a $3-a-gallon at the pump high-test. Pure alchemy.


China needs it. When the lights in China go out, the “Miracle” comes to a spluttering halt real quick. But China ruined it’s only real resource (and poisoned its own water for a generation to come) by strip mining and became dependent on others for coal. “Others” include Vietnam and South Africa. But Vietnam has just cut China off from its coal in order to power its own robust economic recovery and South Africa has turned back shipments of coal bound for China in an attempt to keep their own lights on
Vietnam supplies—supplied, I should say—most of China’s coal. South Africa supplies 25% of Europe’s coal for power.

The energy supply problems don’t end there but I think you get the picture. Examine the news behind the headlines in Japan, Australia, Europe, Russia and Africa as The Young Research Team does 24-hours a day and you will find one word resonating: COAL.

Not solar power. Not ethanol. Not wind or grass clippings. Coal.
