Surprise! Coal Nuclear Power are Keys to Obama’s Energy Plan

Contrarian Profits — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:24:41 +0000

pPresident-elect Barack Obama has made no bones about wanting to jump-start the renewable energy markets – pledging $150 billion for the development of biofuels, solar and wind power, other alternative energy sources during his first term./p pBut what might the new administration mean for more traditional – and more reliable –energy sources?/p pOil is always the first energy source to spring to mind. But it’s hardly a solo act – coal and nuclear make up the other two-thirds of the top fuel trio. Coal delivers 50% of U.S. electricity needs, and nuclear power brings another 20% to the table./p pThe cold truth is that demand for energy of all types – and especially electricity – is going to keep advancing, domestically and worldwide.#8230;/p

On-the-ground in Asia …

Right now I'm on a tour through Asia and judging by what I’m seeing here, there are very few signs of a slowdown!

I am seeing the same vibrant economies wherever I go. In Macau ... in Hong Kong … in Thailand (despite yet another government coup) … and in the mother of all Asian economies, China.

Given what I'm seeing here in Asia, and the current pullback in oil and gas prices, I think now is a great time to take a look at Asian energy companies. Three of my favorites that I think are in the cat-bird seat to feed China's intensely growing energy needs: China Petroleum & Chemical (SNP), CNOOC Ltd. (CEO), Yanzhou Coal Mining Co. Ltd. (YZC).

Keep in mind the pullback you’re seeing in oil and gas prices is nothing more than a much overdue correction in the market. All of my indicators continue to strongly suggest that we will see $150 oil and then $200 oil early next year.

So don’t let any bearish comments on the energy markets steer you away from the long-term trends ... whether energy or Asia!
