Short description
With oil prices having doubled since 2003, the world is in the grip of an energy crunch that promises to get even worse. A "perfect storm" of rapidly rising demand, political insecurity, environmental restrictions, signs of diminishing resources, and increasingly violent weather patterns are driving prices steadily higher. What does all this mean for the U.S. and global economies? How can the average investor navigate this storm? Answering these and other questions, Future Energy is a step-by-step guide on where to invest now and over the next several years. This timely book takes investors far beyond the usual suspects on a fascinating exploration of how high energy prices create opportunities for the average investor to make money from a wide variety of technologies, industries, and individual companies.
