A Colossal Resource Base
I know I've mentioned this to you before. But it's exorbitantly important to remember: The United States is the Saudi Arabia of coal.
Recent estimates show that the United States contains roughly 267 billion tons of the black rocky fuel. That's nearly 30% of the entire world's recoverable coal!
That means there's no need to import the resources needed. We already have a massive resource right in our backyard.
Oil prices are subject to geopolitical turmoil like the nuclear standoff between western nations and Iran that's going on right now. But not coal.
The biggest hurdle will be getting by the environmentalists. And really won't be that big of a deal.
But wait a minute -- isn't coal filthy?
Sure, if you're burning it and let the emissions fly into the atmosphere.
But the Fischer-Tropsch process that will be used by CTL manufactures is different. The process actually traps the emissions and recycles them for use in other applications.
The Federal Clean Air Act, first passed as federal law passed in 1970, and last amended in 1990, is being taken more seriously than ever.
The basic elements of the act include national ambient air quality standards for major air pollutants, hazardous air pollutants standards, state attainment plans, motor vehicle emissions standards, stationary source emissions standards and permits, acid rain control measures, stratospheric ozone protection, and enforcement provisions.
CTL fuels are very clean burning and substantially reduce emissions when compared to other fuels.
They contain no sulfur, aromatic compounds or metals, and have a high octane number in comparison to standard diesel.
CTL fuels have more benefits all around when compared to conventional fuels.
Experiments with CTL fuels have found that they have the very same characteristics that will make an excellent feedstock for fuel cell technology.
CTL fuels contain high amounts of hydrogen, twice that of methanol. Hydrogen is the fuel necessary to generate power for a fuel cell.
CTL fuels, being devoid of sulfur, aromatics and metals, allow for little or no residue build up in the fuel cell process unlike other fuels being studied today.
Additionally, the fact that CTL fuels can be delivered through the existing infrastructure makes the use of CTL fuels for fuel cells practical and more economical than other fuels.
Synthetic fuels have been branded by top industry leaders and analysts as the technology that will turn the oil and gas industry on its head.
Ok -- this technology isn't a magic answer to our energy crisis.
But it's certainly is going to be a big step in the right direction. And that's why it's so important.
And there's no doubt that this technology is going to make a lot of money for a lot of smart investors just like you.
Even some of the biggest names on the investment stage, like Warrant Buffett are positioning themselves for this breakout.
Buffet Bets on Coal
An energy company owned by investment mogul Warren Buffett recently bought 8,500 acres of coal-rich land in Johnson County, Wyoming. The intent is to establish power generation projects.
The land purchased by Iowa-based MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co. is located between Buffalo and the southern end of Lake DeSmet.
While MidAmerican didn't outright say that they plan to employ CTL technology, the company did say that they acquired the land "as part long-term plan to meet energy needs in the West."
CTL technology certainly won't solve all of our energy problems. It will, however, delay the impending catastrophe.
Once proven and mainstream, it will also open the doors to newer, better technologies.
So how do you play it?
Easy.
Mike Schaefer has already found a CTL stock that he's recommending for investment consideration in his stellar investment letter Pure Energy Report.
Mike sold this stock for a 100% gain last summer. After a pull back, Mike jumped back in. It was a good move.
So far he's up another 80%.
But here's the thing...this stock is still super cheap and it could increase another 800% from here on out.
Sound unlikely?
At first that's what I thought too.
But when I researched the technology, found out that this firm is essentially the world's foremost authority on CTL, and looked at the company fundamentals, it became clear that a massive gain is most only possible, but very likely.
