By: Joseph_Dancy
Since the early 1900’s the U.S. has been the world’s largest energy consumer and the world’s largest auto manufacturer. It took a century to accomplish, but last year China knocked the U.S. from its perch as the world's largest auto market. Last month the International Energy Agency claimed China’s total energy usage exceeded the U.S. for the first time last year – making China the world’s largest energy consumer.

The Doomsday Threat Of The "Nuclear Renaissance" / Politics / Energy Resources
By: Andrew_McKillop
Political deciders, corporate elites and mainstream media, almost everywhere, have swung to
virtually total support for nuclear power. Major agencies and entities promoting nuclear power,
such as the OECD's NEA and the WNA announce the industry's 2010-2020 potential for rivalling its
previous highwater mark, in the 1975-1985 period, when it averaged one new reactor on line every
17 days, for 10 years.

By: Marin_Katusa
Marin Katusa, Casey’s Energy Opportunities writes: Stop the presses. The United States is no longer the world’s biggest consumer of energy.
After topping the energy consumption charts for more than a century, the U.S. has been left behind as China leapfrogged past. According to the International Energy Association’s (IEA) latest report, China burned its way through 2,252 million tonnes of oil equivalent last year – about 4% more than the U.S.

New Global Energy Sector Profit Opportunity of Our Lifetime / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon III writes: Oil prices will reach a record $150 a barrel, sending gasoline prices to $3.80 a gallon. Commercial nuclear power is making a comeback - but in "nuclear batteries," instead of in hulking power plants of the past. New global-warming regulations will turn air-pollution credits into financial assets that can trade like stocks or bonds. And China's zooming growth will turn the global energy sector upside down.

‘New’ Energy Sector Windfall Profits for Investors, Energy Independence for U.S. Economy / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon III writes: The BP PLC (NYSE ADR: BP) oil spill has been a wakeup call for energy-sector regulators. But it's been an even bigger wakeup call for investors.
Years from now, investors will look back at this period as a turning point - the start of the greatest profit opportunity of this generation. And that's not all. The post-oil-spill period will go down in history as the period during which the United States was finally able to break its dependence on foreign oil, says Dr. Kent Moors, a career energy-sector consultant who works with governments and corporations throughout the world.

Geological Anomalies are Like Opinions: Everybody Has One / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: Casey_Research
By Louis James, Senior Editor, Casey’s International Speculator : There's a great deal of chatter in the press and online about the tremendous US$1-trillion-dollar mineral "discovery" in Afghanistan headlined by The New York Times recently. Most of the discussion seems to center on whether or not this is really news and whether or not the NYT was played by the powers that be for purposes of their own. Few, if any, people seem to be questioning the value of the so-called discovery itself. The US$1-trillion-dollar figure, at best, cannot be anything more than the wildest of hopeful guesses.

As the world hesitantly emerges from recession, the one question that seems to be on the lips of investors everywhere is: what’s next?

Pundits and would-be energy experts are a dime a dozen. Speculation about oversold or underbought oil abounds.

Bill Gates and the Energy Research Dilemma / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: OilPrice_Com
There is an idea that has been around for a long time, at least since the fall of 1973: All that stands between the United States and an abundant energy future is a lack of spending on research and development. It is as though the Knights Templar could find the Holy Grail, if only the Pope would commit just a few more resources to the hunt.Read full article... Read full article...

The Nuclear Power Investing Option / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: Marin_Katusa
by Marin Katusa, Chief Investment Strategist, Casey’s Energy Opportunities - Earlier this year, the Obama administration announced large new federal loan guarantees for the nuclear energy industry - totaling about $54 billion, or more than triple the current level of funding. Philosophically, we abhor government subsidies to any industry, but we also recognize that they're a fact of life these days, with an inordinate influence on markets. So even though we'd prefer the government didn't pick industry winners and losers, we must be mindful of what Washington is doing if we expect to reap profits as investors.

The Energy Report: Adam, please give us a macro view of the energy market.

China's Giant New Energy Source / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: DailyWealth
In yesterday's essay, I told you about China's monstrous "Junggar" Shale Basin. The Junggar could become one of the largest hydrocarbon deposits ever found. Even better, China has gone "oil crazy."
With around 1.3 billion citizens, China is the most populous country in the world. It owns the world's largest cash hoard... and has the world's fastest-growing large economy. This makes it desperate for deposits like the Junggar.
