We’ve been talking about U.S. reliance on crude oil in recent articles.
We’ve seen some facts and figures in regards to our dependence on crude. In case you missed it, here’s a quick recap…
With just under 5% of the world’s population, the U.S. uses 25% of the
world’s oil. And we import nearly 20 billion barrels of oil a year from
other countries.
Much of it from countries that don’t really care for us…
Imported oil accounts for over 60% of the oil we use. And nearly 65% of
the oil we use goes into transportation. Not only getting commuters back
and forth to work, but also getting goods distributed across the
country.
These numbers may not seem so significant, but in reality, our national
security depends on oil from overseas.
You see, according to Securing Americas Future Energy (SAFE), a mere 4%
shortfall in daily global supply of oil would shoot prices higher by
177%.
That’s right, $216 for a barrel of oil! That translates into about $8
for a gallon of gas…
Do you think this would impact our economy? How would you deal with high
prices?

Our own small-company specialist, Robert Morris, has found a
way to 'sniff out' tiny penny stocks on the verge of a major breakout. And
the timing for this has never been better.
You see, the system takes advantage of an obscure SEC regulation that
sends penny stock prices through the roof.
We've seen some stocks gain 852%... 5,450%... even 17,496% in no time
flat.

You might struggle for a few weeks, but beyond that, all bets are off…
You see, the U.S. economy was built on the back of cheap oil. You may
not realize it, but many basic conveniences are possible because of
(cheap) oil.
Jumping in the car to run to the grocery store is a basic task we’re all
familiar with. If gas prices were to surge, obviously the trip would
become much more expensive. But the price of groceries would jump right
along with oil prices.
After all, groceries get to the store via a tractor-trailer burning
diesel fuel… and diesel comes from crude oil. The American supply chain
would become grossly inefficient.
The cost of transporting goods would rise dramatically. And those higher
costs would be passed down to the consumer. That consumer is you and
me... the days of cheap living would be over, until oil prices came back
down.
As you can see, we need alternatives to avoid this nightmare scenario.
Fortunately, a handful of technologies can reduce our dependence on oil…
and make investors rich at the same time!
We talked about electric cars for the daily commuter recently. But what
about alternative fuels for the supply chain? Can truckers run their big
rigs without being subject to high oil prices?
Batteries won’t work for truckers hauling goods long distances. Battery
technology can’t handle the weight of the trucks and the goods they
haul.
But there are other technologies that can. Technologies based on
alternative fuels we wouldn’t have to import from overseas.
We have enormous quantities available right here in the U.S…
I’m talking about Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG comes from natural
gas that’s been super-cooled to a liquid. LNG burns cleaner and it’s
also cheaper than diesel fuel.
And Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE) is leading the way with LNG…
CLNE is in the business of providing natural gas products for vehicles.
Currently the company is providing LNG to city, county, and state
vehicles in a number of areas.
Vehicles like garbage trucks, buses, and service vehicles are all using
LNG.
But regional delivery companies are starting to sit up and take notice
as well. They’re realizing LNG vehicles are cost effective over the long
run. LNG engines run cleaner and last longer than traditional diesel
engines.
When engines last longer, engine repair and replacement costs go down.
Companies like CLNE are changing America’s energy landscape…
CLNE is expanding their network of filling stations. By making the fuel
more readily available, trucking companies are more likely to make the
switch.
When the heavy transportation industry realizes the benefits of LNG,
there may be a large-scale shift. Diesel engines will be replaced with
LNG engines for many applications. Not only will this make trucking
companies more efficient and green, it’ll reduce our dependence on
foreign oil.
This will make the U.S. less vulnerable to high oil prices. And it will
also keep our money right here in the U.S… where it belongs.
Take a look at CLNE for your portfolio. Investors who get in on this
trend early could be positioned for big gains…
• Copper (Over $3 a pound)
After dropping precipitously in recent months, copper is stabilizing at
the $3 area. Recent reports show housing permits rebounded in June. This suggests a bottom may have been put in for new home starts. Copper
is widely used in construction for piping and wiring.
