Solar, Uranium and Rare Earths, No Thanks to Energy Band Waggon / Companies / Energy Resources
By: Toby_Connor
It seems that everyone has now jumped back on the energy band wagon; energy, solar, uranium and rare earths. I hear it constantly in the media.
However if something has gone up long enough and far enough to garner the attention of the media it's usually closer to a top than a bottom.

Decoding Energy Investment / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: The_Energy_Report
Pinetree Capital's Marshall Auerback sees a number of supply/demand imbalances in the energy space, particularly in uranium. "We like uranium because it's both a supply and demand story," he says, believing the price could "easily double" over the next few years. But yellowcake won't be alone in its ascent up the energy hierarchy. As developing nations begin to realize a standard of living more akin to the West, opportunities could arise in other areas across the energy spectrum. In this Energy Report exclusive, Marshall decodes the energy enigma, making a strong case for U308, oil and gas E&Ps and even natural gas.

Energy Security, Why Europe Should Pay Attention to Algeria / Politics / Energy Resources
By: Marin_Katusa
Marin Katusa, Chief Energy Strategist, Casey Research writes: Tunisia's uprising has democracy watchers wondering if the instability will spill over into neighboring North African countries, but really that instability is already there. In the first week of the year, Algeria experienced violent protests after the government hiked prices for staple foods like milk, sugar, oil, and flour. Some 800 people were injured in several days of rioting, prompting President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to cut costs on some foods and lower import duties on others. The rioters went home, but odds are they will return to the streets when prices rise again.

The Coming Nuclear Financial Bubble and Asset Boom / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: Andrew_McKillop
The coming nuclear financial disaster in fact has many previous models - stretching back to
several speculative investment surges, then panics in the 19thC, and similar recurring "bourse
panics" in the 20thC. The most recent financial boom-bust offering a likely or potential scenario
for the nuclear financial disaster of the 2011-2020 period, is the US subprime crash, which became
inevitable by the years 2005-2006.

US Government Agency Faulted in Nuclear Power Abandonment / Politics / Energy Resources

If you are heading north on the Chesapeake Bay, just above where the Patuxent River enters it, and you will see the Cove Point liquefied natural gas terminal and gas processing plant."
Journey on, about three miles, and you will see a superbly landscaped industrial installation that, unlike the gas terminal, blends into the cliffs of Maryland. This is the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, which has been making electricity quietly, efficiently and abundantly since 1975."

Funky Town Finance Meets The Nuclear Renaissance / Politics / Energy Resources
By: Andrew_McKillop
Like a Marlene Dietrich show in a remake of 1945 Berlin, surrounded by Soviet troop hordes, the nuclear sales show has to go on. The vaunted “Nuclear Renaissance” which is being proclaimed by the industry could see more than 200 new reactors built during the 2010-2020 decade, rivalling the industry’s previous high-water mark of 1975-1985 when one new reactor came on line, on average, every 17 days. The image of cheap, clean, safe and low carbon energy which is also secure – despite the uranium being mostly imported – has seduced political deciders and the corporate elite, worldwide. But the reality behind this romantic green image of a nuclear panacea to future energy needs is something altogether different.
