    Default US oil is losing to altenative energy

    Currently we have a very interesting new trend going on within the US energy markets, oil is starting to lose more and more against alternative energy. Since the mid 2014 we've had signs of volatility within the oil industry and when the energy industry is doing well it is the alternative energy that is going stronger and as soon as you have weakness in the markets you have oil losing over alternative energy. So what we can see here is simply put more weakness in the US oil industry than before, while the alternative energy's volatility is starting to decline. Are these the first signs of an energy paradigm shift?

    Yes I know it because it has already happened that we have these indicators, of course it might be something temporary, when you look at various indexes and compare you can see that during the last 3 months the US alternative energy has risen almost 30% more than the US oil, which is a significant relative strength.

    They'd better come-up with something! I was talking to a multi-state power monitor about six months ago and there is a large energy deficit due to the new EPA regulations. This power company has yet to come-up with a way to meet the output.

    Renewable power that requires batteries is not a cheap alternative due to the high cost of replacement batteries...
