The Solution to the Global Energy Crisis

My friend Luke Burgess has been tracking a metal that is ultra-conductive. That’s important because roughly 10% of all the energy that’s produced in the world is lost in the transmission of power itself. [Outsider Club Header] Aug 19, 2022 By Jason Simpkins for the Outsider Club The Solution to the Global Energy Crisis When people talk about “supply chain” issues, it could mean any number of things. But one of the biggest, nastiest supply chain issues we’re facing right now is an energy crisis that is driving up prices and eating into material production. Europe has been especially hard-hit. Scorching temperatures have resulted in droughts so catastrophic that they’ve damaged infrastructure and transport hubs. In the most brutal instance, the water levels of one of the continent’s major arteries, the Rhine River, have fallen so low that barges can no longer pass through it. That’s a huge problem because the Rhine is what links the massive oil refineries and tank farms in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) hub to Germany, France, and Switzerland. As a result, those countries are having to draw down their stockpiles ahead of schedule. The #1 Stock to End COVID (Not Pfizer) While companies like Moderna brought us vaccines... Big and small companies all over the globe are STILL working 24/7 to create a successful COVID-19 treatment. But one company’s breakthrough COVID-killing nasal spray is about to beat them all.This company is not some big pharma giant like Pfizer or Merck. It’s TINY. But it has the power to end COVID once and for all... And could hand you profits large enough to help you retire wealthy. [Take a look at this groundbreaking treatment for yourself.]( In similarly bad news, diesel and gasoil stockpiles at the ARA hub are also well below their historical averages. This is because Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting sanctions have imperiled energy supplies from the east. Indeed, Russia supplies 60% of Europe’s diesel. The fuel and its distillates, like heating oil and gasoil, are absolutely vital for powering factories, heating homes, and gassing up cars and trucks. That creates a knock-on effect that drives up prices for energy-intensive manufacturers, which must cut production or pass the higher prices on to consumers. For example, Norsk Hydro ASA, a leading supplier of casted aluminum, plans to shutter an aluminum smelter in Slovakia at the end of September due to “high electricity prices, which show no signs of improvement in the short term.” Aluminum is one of the most energy-intensive metals to produce. Nyrstar, another major global multi-metals business, has announced it will halt production at its giant Budel zinc facility in the Netherlands. These shutdowns will amplify the supply disruption that’s already seen Europe lose half of its zinc and aluminum smelting capacity over the past year. At least a quarter of Europe’s nitrogen fertilizer capacity has been lost too. [QUIZ] Most Investors Get This Wrong What do you think is about to kill Tesla? ([Skip ahead for the answer.]() - [Elon Musk’s tweets]( - [SEC]( - [Chinese competitor NIO]( - [Off-the-radar fuel (NOT hydrogen)]( No matter what you pick, when you really think about it, the answer isn’t actually that surprising. Make your selection to find out! Beyond metals, European sugar giant Südzucker AG has warned of higher prices as it passes higher energy prices on to consumers. The company also has emergency plans to switch from gas to other energy sources if Russia halts flows in response to sanctions, but that could be even more expensive, further exacerbating rising grocery bills. Indeed, these issues are problematic as it is, but they’re going to get even worse if fuel stocks aren’t replenished by winter. Because with Western sanctions set to take effect, the European Union is set to stop buying all seaborne Russian crude oil in early December and ban all Russian refined products two months later. Of course, European manufacturers aren’t the only ones struggling with higher energy prices. The aluminum sector in Sichuan, China, has been hampered by a drought that’s undermined crucial hydropower output. That’s forced smelter Henan Zhongfu Industry Co. to halt production there. In fact, power cuts in the Sichuan province have affected more than 70% of local steel mills, either through production halts or rationing. Sichuan also produces a lot of the world’s silicon metal, which goes into everything from computer chips to cars. Its price just jumped 12% in a single week. Turn the Global Chip Crisis to Your Benefit TODAY The microchip shortage is causing industries to lose hundreds of billions of dollars... And it’s impacting YOU financially. The prices of everyday tech products like laptops, phones, printers, and graphics cards are as much as $350 more expensive. It’s absolutely ridiculous... But there is a silver lining. Because [I’ve uncovered a TINY, virtually unheard-of company...]( Which is at the very CENTER of America’s initiative to solve this crisis. Investors who get in on the ground floor today could rake in gains as high as 9,737%... Which turns every $2,500 invested into $245,925! [Get all the details now.]( And finally, in the United States, Century Aluminum Co, the largest producer of primary aluminum in the United States, said in June that it would idle its smelter in Hawesville, Kentucky, for nine–12 months “as a direct result of skyrocketing energy costs.” At least two steel mills have suspended some operations to cut energy costs as well. Again, this crisis is only going to get worse. [But there is one potential solution — and profit opportunity.Â]( My colleague Luke Burgess has been tracking a metal that is ultra-conductive. That’s important because roughly 10% of all the energy that’s produced in the world is lost in the transmission of power itself. However, this metal, dubbed “Electricus,” can greatly reduce that waste, boosting energy efficiency and reducing power costs.
