Well, I tried to get some help from other here a few months back when I asked about trading the future... i.e. analyzing the potentiality of certain events, and then placing bets. To make a long story short, my research keeps bringing up "hits" regarding energy alternatives.
Based on this, I narrowed my investigation to areas which I could find good information, and then to areas which have major financial backing which should push the technology to the forefront.
Bottom line... Condensed natural gas (CNG) will be a major alternative to gasoline.
Think about this for a little bit of time. It all makes perfect sense if you line up the fundamentals. Gasoline's raw material is oil, which is becoming a source of worldwide financial and civil disruptions. The raw material of CNG is natural gas. Something of which the USA has unquantifiable amounts. It is cheap, has very elastic supply dynamics, and does not cause wars. Natural gas is the anti-oil.
And the plays off of this are vast... from gas producers, to well service companies, to refiners, to fueling stations, to car makers, to part suppliers, to service professionals, and the list goes on. It makes too much sense to NOT be done. And this is why there is serious money behind this. Tons of money has been spent in just the development of bringing CNG to the US public. Much more money is going to be spent to ramp up the building of infrastructure needed for this industry to compete with oil. But, once that point is reached, oil doesn't stand a chance against CNG.
If you haven't seen one yet, you will see a CNG refueling pump within the next 5 years. In 10 years, they will be commonplace. In 15 years gasoline stations will have mostly CNG pumps. Any time that you take a taxi or a bus, it will be powered by CNG.
So, I decided to go with a long term play. I bought Clean Energy (CLNE) at $13.00 a share. I'll see what it does in 10 to 15 years.

Chesapeake Energy knew what I was saying.
Let's dumb it down a little...
BUY CLNE, HOLD FOR MANY MOONS
