With oil prices having doubled since 2003, the world is in the grip of an energy crunch which promises to get even worse. The situation is being compounded by the failure of world leaders to address these pressing issues. While oil grabs the headlines, this storm has swallowed up the world's two other main energy sources, natural gas and electricity, the latter produced primarily from coal, nuclear energy and, increasingly, natural gas. What does all this mean for the U.S. economy? The global economy? How can the average investor navigate this storm? Are there ways for investors to turn high energy prices to their advantage? What are the right, and wrong, kinds of investments in a high-priced energy world? This book will answer all these questions in a step-by-step guide for where to invest now and over the next five years
