| Fadel Gheit: Avoid the Middle East, Invest in US Refineries |
| The Energy Report: During your last interview in March, you said that oil prices were inflated by about 30% based on replacement costs of about $70/barrel ($70/bbl). Do you still believe that or are prices more realistic today?
Fadel Gheit: Nothing really changed over the course of the year. Oil prices are still inflated. I still stand by my estimate that oil should be trading between $70 and $80/bbl, not $90 or $100/bbl.

| Will Saudi Arabia Allow the U.S. Oil Boom? Interview with Chris Faul |
| Technology, technology, and more technology--this is what has driven the American
oil and gas boom starting in the Bakken and now being played out in the Gulf
of Mexico revival, and new advances are coming online constantly. It's enough
to rival the Saudis, if the Kingdom allows it to happen. Along with this boom
come both promise and fear and a fast-paced regulatory environment that still
needs to find the proper balance.

| The Hidden Bargain: The Other Yellow Metal |
| Over the past month, gold has seen a considerable decrease in price, dropping almost 15% since the beginning of May. If this trend continues, gold will have its first losing year since 2000. This has led many investors, from the housewives of China to the bankers on Wall Street, looking for a bargain in gold prices.
However, what they don't realize is that there is already a bargain available – in uranium. Despite being the source of 20% of electricity in the United States and 35% in the EU, iTuesday, June 04, 2013 |

 The Obama Administration's Natural Gas Policy Is Tragically Misguided |
|
The Obama administration has come out in support of the idea of exporting U.S. natural gas. This stance is counterproductive and shortsighted, and if followed, it will prove harmful to domestic manufacturing (i.e., value generation) and to future generations of Americans.
While exporting natural gas would certainly prove to be an economMonday, May 13, 2013 |

| America’s Addiction to Foreign Uranium |
| What most Americans don't realize is that dependence on foreign oil isn't the main obstacle to US energy autonomy. If you think America's energy supply issues begin and end with the Middle East, think again. One of the most critical sources of foreign energy is due to dry up this year, and the results could mean spiking electricity prices across the country.
In 2011, the US used 4,128 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity. Nuclear power provided 790.2 billion kWh, or 19% of the total eleMonday, May 13, 2013 |

| Porter Stansberry vs. Marin Katusa: Who Won the Bet? |
| On May 1, 2012, Porter Stansberry and I made a bet. Porter predicted that oil would go below US$40 per barrel within 12 months. I stated that there was no chance that this would happen (my reasons are presented at the link above).
Putting our money where our mouths are, we both agreed to bet 100 ounces of silver on the matter.
I have a lot of respect for Porter, who is a very smart man. When he talks, I listen. But when he discussed the reasons why he thought oil was going below US$40 per baWednesday, May 08, 2013 |

| Bob Moriarty: US Energy Self-Sufficiency Nothing But 'Feel-Good BS' |
| The Energy Report: In September 2012, you described $100/barrel (bbl) as the new normal. What market factors are behind today's price of $93/bbl?
Bob Moriarty: If the new normal is $100/bbl in any given market, the price should be as high as $115/bbl and as low as $85/bbl. The price will continue to swing around that. Even with the Bakken coming on-line and other domestic U.S. production occurring in the U.S., cheap oil is gone.

| The New Valuation Paradigm in Small-Cap Energy Stocks: Josh Young |
| The Energy Report: Since the election, many reports on the possibility of U.S. energy independence have come out. Many argue that new technology and expanded production will result in a paradigm shift for the U.S. energy market and economy. What's your take?Josh Young: There's been tremendous production growth from unconventional oil reservoirs and the U.S. is producing more energy than it has produced in a long time. Onshore production growth has been particularly impressive. I don't know if weSaturday, February 09, 2013 |

| What the Narrowing WTI/Brent Price Gap Means for Investors: Elliott Gue |
| The Energy Report: U.S. oil prices hit their third peak of 2012 soon after your last interview with us, then bottomed around $85 per barrel ($85/bbl) in early November. Now they're back in the mid-$90s. What's causing the recent strength? Elliott Gue: New pipeline capacity is alleviating some of the supply crude glut in places like Cushing, Oklahoma. As a result, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) has gained ground against Brent, which is now trading just under $114/bbl and has been in that same $107Wednesday, January 30, 2013 |
