Thought provoking post & interesting to look atthis topic from a US view. In Europe, Scandinavia & Germany have been leading the way in looking at alternatives to oil, Demnark notably in wind turbine technology & Germany is pushed by public opinion, which is heartily anti-nuclear.
Another project that is gaining a lot more exposure right now is Desertec, which could "theoreticaly" provide all the power requirements of the EU, although there are still unsolved issues regards security etc, but it is promising.
I would be grateful if you could share your thoughts on a similar project being implemented in the US?
As the security issues are not (imo) as much of a challenge as in N Africa. Nevada / Arizona & Florida could be key to such an implementation, but is there the public push/desire strong enough to support this, or are the oil olegarchies still too strong for this to happen in the short to mid-term ?
Also thanks for the video links, compelling stuff.

Re: Question…Is Tweeting Your Trades Pumping Stocks?

Thomas, you hit the nail on the head ... just like poor little Jimmy Cramer & bad Jon Stewart ... not fair, playground name calling. ST is obviouly getting a lot more interest than air time, so lets throw mud, hope some of it sticks & in the meantine count the clicks.
With regards to pumping stocks, I have seen a couple of people try, but to be honest, the community will tune you out ... or Howard presses the ban button (st***god)

have been looking at both of these this week, as am of the opinion that the market will be taking a downward correction very soon. As a trading pair in a down market, plenty of points to be made on either swing or day trading.

this has helped me formalise my thoughts, so thanks for a great post.
