All energy investing starts with oil.

Let me explain...

I like alternative energy. But the bottom line is... the bottom line. See, in order for oil alternatives to really gain big demand, oil needs to be inconvenient (read: expensive). Sure, oil alternatives will be great investments, but rising oil prices will get them there.

The more expensive oil becomes, the more appealing its alternatives. It only makes sense to start with oil and take advantage of those rising prices. The good news is oil prices are already starting to rise. In the past month alone, prices have nudged past the $90 per barrel mark.
