The peaking of global oil production is a major event, and as such it will lead to some major changes, lets talk about the opportunities to be had. While this looks like it will lead to a major recession, not all will fall. Now, there are the obvious investment possibilities such as solar (FSLR, SPWR), wind (VWS.CO, CWP.L), rail (BNI, CP, NSC, P.TO), cars (ZNN.V), etc. But lets really think outside the box on this one! If your interested please join the discussion.

Several areas will begin to thrive. Mass transits and public transport services will be going concerns. Would anyone have ever thought Greyhound? Local food growers will also do well, while the conglomerates, Kraft, Archer Daniels Midland, Tyson, etc, will have severe strains. Energy retrofitters for buildings will do well. Look at Pulte homes, and some of the big new construction firms who are advertising guaranteed energy use today. GE and Siemens with their wind, but also the ICelandic companies for geothermal. Lots of opportunities there. Electric Bicycle manufacturers, and bike makers in general. Inner city real estate, as commute prices overwhelm the average jane and joe....Companies that look to thermal solar, sterling engines, UTX, Trane and others.
