Natural gas is now back in the spotlight. The now plentiful from within our own borders fuel is environmentally friendly with half the green house emissions of coal, and as such is being looked at to replace coal for electricity generation in the U.S.
A decade ago natural gas was shunned because it was seen as supply unreliable leading to wild swings in the price.
New technology, however, has unlocked vast quantities of natural gas previously thought to be uneconomic.
Exxon Mobil’s recent announcement to acquire XTO Energy makes Exxon the biggest natural gas supplier (the market punished Exxon shareholders over the ensuing few trading days by clipping about 5 points off the stock’s price, an almost 7% haircut).
Natural gas could become one of the more reliable ways to play the green energy movement as an investment. After all, natural gas is economic WITHOUT massive government subsidies, something wind, wave and sun technology cannot boast.
The other promising area of green energy is geothermal energy; now becoming a reality in many places around the globe.
