There are tremendous alternative energy sources here in the U.S. to replace that diminishing oil supply. Quite simply, the U.S. is its own Green power Saudi Arabia.
Statistics are like mushrooms; you’d better be pretty darned careful which ones you swallow. Specifically, I have in mind the statistic that shows that September is the worst month of the year in which to invest.
