  • Too Soon to Re-enter Oil Stocks? [View article]
    The option to exercise the utility for any given source of energy is certainly a credential becoming more attainable to more households, businesses, and institutions through ready advancement of technology aided combustion systems. We've also seen geo thermal work exceptionally well by reducing cost of winter heating 50% and eliminating #2 fuel. Strikingly, the conversion to LP, or wood pellet sourced fuel is tantamount to the winter heating season soon to be upon us. It's the diversification and change from doing the same routine the same way that is shifting the demand for fuels more so than the daily spot price which we all can see now is not to be relied upon. Short term supply of ethanol in abundant quantity is as yet to be fully factored because of the first signs now of a high yield corn harvest. Like a flex fuel vehicle so to can there be more diversified application of building utility self contained power systems that can optimize the need for energy as a function of that energies cost. There are so many crossroads that have never been reached before that each new generation of appliance will likely use a fuels complete functionality as it propels the appliance, it is intended to power. Back in the old days we only had use to use less gas on the pedal.

    Add bio fuels because of mandates to the blend and the margins change drastically because, by law, certain fuels used for transportion are required to use ethanol. There is a reduction for gas and not for ethanol. Most ethanol is transported by rail before blending and crop (ethanol) harvest yields are expected to be at record levels this year. The jump in oil price has not withstood its value and instead reduced its demand.

  • Wind's Our Future, but Natural Gas Is Now [View article]
    Wind generation used for co-generation of hydrogen is a potential that must also be factored into the viability of wind farms as is the process from which to transport hydrogen when considering it as a universal fuel.


    Hydrogen potential from NG or wind farm distribution models must also be incorporated as an investment strategy in order to reach the full potential of a sustainable and renewable fuel vehicle. As much as NG is expendable, then so to is the wind.

    Wind Power conversion in the form of a hydrogen fuel cell storage and power module is shown in this illustration from the following link.

  • Wind's Our Future, but Natural Gas Is Now [View article]
    Fuel speculation is always attractive because it offers immediate incentives to believe the problem is solved. The next question is what is using NG that offers the return. Is it going to power an 18 wheeler down the road, or a light weight golf cart? Natural gas has virtues that allow for extration and co-generation of electricity or that NG is used directly to create mechanical motion, yet, it is the appliance or the application of NG that will emerge as the market leader and not so much the fuel. The scale of efficiency ultimately mandates that we use less fuel and not more. Using the map as shown above the proven reserves are well recorded and vast amounts of NG is consumed nation wide already, only where is the application that solves the fuel crisis as we know it today?
