China's Secret Gas War By Keith Kohl | Tuesday, June 12th, 2012 "It's going down, down, down, in a burning ring of fire..." At first, I didn't take much heed of the singing that drifted over the cubicle wall. This wasn't the first time I've heard my colleague Chris DeHaemer whistling a Cash tune. But today was different. His musical inspiration was a specific natural gas chart he'd pulled up his computer screen: Click to Enlarge Chart "Let it go down to a buck, all the better for us," he crooned, poking his head above the partition, "the coffee's cold and gas prices couldn't be better for us than in the trenches..." I've written before how Chris is taking a different approach to natural gas. Unlike the "wait-and-see" tactics that have many hesitant gas investors on the sidelines, he's buying — because unlike these other guys, Chris knows precisely which gas stocks to play during a glut.

You can pen your "Bakken Bank Account" today for as little as $6.00. Click here to get started.  The Never-Ending [Supply] Story When it comes to fossil fuel supply or production, nothing should be considered endless — but in the case of natural gas, we can expect to enjoy a rosy production outlook for decades to come. Despite the recession, four hurricanes in seven years, and ever-increasing domestic demand, the supply glut plaguing the gas industry could take years to work itself out. Last year, nearly half a million natural gas wells across the United States produced over 24 trillion cubic feet of marketed natural gas production. According to the bean counters at the EIA, that's a 30% increase during the last seven years and more than we've ever produced before. What to do with all that gas? The pundits in the mainstream media spouting off about the future of LNG exports are way off the mark. Although there are currently nine projects on U.S. soil up for review, only one is actually approved. I have no doubt you've heard these same people talking about Cheniere Energy's Sabine Pass Liquefaction terminal in Louisiana. What they fail to mention, however, is that Canada is already ahead of the game — that and Canada's direct access to the Asian market... And then there's the fact that most U.S. LNG exports would be bound for Europe, where prices aren't as sweet: So, why the Chinese? The Manic Mandarin Even though the IEA has said global gas demand will increase by 50% by 2035, much of that will come from China. One of China's largest state-owned gas producers has warned the country's natural gas consumption could triple to 550 billion cubic meters a year during the next two decades. In just the next five years, Chinese demand is expected to double. What's more, this newly-found addiction to natural gas comes with a major hitch: finding that much gas! Advertisement The Invisibility Cloak Is Real A new material is making invisibility a reality. The Israeli Army is already using it to make invisible missiles, and say they're "only at the beginning" of what this technology can do... It's going to make early investors a fortune. We have video of it working right here — as well as details on how to get invested now.  Their own shale gas revolution is still in its infancy, but it turns out extracting the gas from China's shale formations may be as easy as it has been here in the States. That could lead to a serious increase in gas imports, sparking an LNG war that will last decades. A Better Way The truth is there are better opportunities than the blooming Chinese natural gas market. And they're much closer to home. I often refer to our transportation sector as the holy grail of U.S. energy. Slowly, the rest of the herd will come to this realization... The government is gearing up for a fight over shipping our abundant gas resources overseas. The rumblings have been low-key so far: a mild warning or an outright threat made during a small energy budget meeting. You can bet the politicians on Capitol Hill will milk our gas supplies for all they're worth, which will inevitably hinder our LNG export ambitions. If nothing else, government greed is the one thing we can count on. In fact, some investors already are... I know firsthand how Chris' readers are finding the real value in gas over the long haul.

Sec Geithner Says China is Agressive is in Technology Transfers

"Innovate or DIE"

Sec Thomas Geithner in a  Huffington/Reuters news feed says China is very agressive in taking away technology from US and costs US jobs and loss of revenues.  Here is the full article and please think about it: is China stealing or imitating creatively?   Is it ethical?  Would it not be opportunity seizing?  Isnt just being businesslike or entreprenurial? Here is the link:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/23/timothy-geithner-china-very-aggressive-stealing-technology_n_977509.html


Here is the quoted article::

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Thursday that China is holding to its decades-old strategy to steal American intellectual property, in a pointed statement reflecting U.S. officials' growing impatience with Beijing.
"They China have made possible systematic stealing of intellectual property of American companies and have not been very aggressive to put in place the basic protections for property rights that every serious economy needs over time," Geithner told a forum in Washington.
"We're seeing China continue to be very, very aggressive in a strategy they started several decades ago, which goes like this: you want to sell to our country, we want you to come produce here ... if you want to come produce here, you need to transfer your technology to us," Geithner said.
Although unusually direct, Geithner's comments echo a common refrain from U.S. officials and executives. The new U.S. Ambassador to China, Gary Locke, who has assailed China in the past for its trade practices, has put the defense of U.S. intellectual property among his chief priorities.
China has said it would drop some of its "indigenous innovation" rules that have riled foreign companies who say access to government equipment and technology orders hinge on their transferring patents and other intellectual property.
But business associations in China argue that enforcement of Beijing's promises has been spotty, particularly at the local government level, hampering foreign companies' access to a market estimated to be worth as much as $1 trillion a year.

In an offshoot of Washington's dissatisfaction with Beijing's trade policies, leaders in Washington have long argued that China's yuan currency is undervalued, giving Chinese companies a price advantage that costs U.S. jobs.
But the foreign business community in China -- concerned about what they see as China becoming more closed toward foreign investors in recent years -- has argued that the emphasis on yuan revaluation distracts from the most serious issues threatening U.S. business interests.
A coalition of 51 U.S. business groups sent a letter dated Wednesday to senators considering a currency bill, urging them to focus more on China's inadequate protection of intellectual property and restrictions on market access.
"... unilateral legislation on this issue would be counterproductive not only to the goals related to China's exchange rate that we all share, but also to our nation's broader objectives of addressing the many and growing challenges that we face in China," the groups said.
Piracy and counterfeiting of U.S. software and a wide range of other intellectual property in China cost U.S. businesses alone an estimated $48 billion and 2.1 million jobs in 2009, the U.S. International Trade Commission has said.
The United States' trade deficit with China hit a record $273 billion in 2010 and could top that this year.
In May, China was listed for the seventh year by the U.S. Trade Representative's office as a country with one of the worst records for preventing copyright theft.
