Debt, Inflation, Oil and Green Investing

So as congress and the financial world nit pick about a bailout for failed fat cats and spoiled paper printers let's take a look at the energy and green markets.

The overall market is of course lacking sufficient liquidity and security to warrant any significant new risky investments in unproven green technology or emerging green markets.

Unfortunately for us that most likely means is investors will run for secure investments such as gold and most likely black gold. Some traders have predicted now that we should expect 135 dollar a barrell oil by the end of the year. (roughly 40% increase since monday)

That means 2 things. The election will again turn to drill baby drill as inflation concerns rise and people are staring at record heating oil prices to keep their homes and businesses warm this winter.


So politically and economically the best route will be to suppoort Pickens existing technology plan and refrain on new tech investing until the energy markets re-stabilize.

Investing in wind and natural gas seem ike the best bets to me.
