An investor's guide to developments shaping the oil industry

A veteran Wall Street Journal reporter, Bill Paul takes the investor's perspective on the development of alternative energy sources. In this easy-to-understand book he explains how particular companies, industry developments and strategic forces will propel the creation of a new energy industry. He covers all the bases: Mideast politics, synthetic fuels, oil shale, and energy synergies between electric and oil. He provides practical advice, including three appendices, a glossary and, most important, a list of 100 companies that are poised to make revolutionary innovations, for speculators who are seeking the next big thing. The writing is occasionally choppy, but this is not a significant flaw in a book that getAbstract believes is full of literally valuable information, some of which might help you strike it rich.

Excellent source for energy investors

This book did two thing for me. First it gave me a good introduction to the field of both traditional oil service industries and alternative energy. The second contribution was it list of companies and industries to watch. While finally the author also does a very good job at enlightening the reader on how the future of energy is dependant on politics.
