<div> <B>On a hot summer day, just after the sun reaches its highest point, it begins...</B></div> <div> Within minutes, cell phones go silent. </div> <div> Oil refineries shut down. </div> <div> Crowded flights are grounded. </div> <div> Assembly lines grind to a halt.</div> <div>  America is paralyzed. </div> <bR> <div> But not by a surprise act of terrorism. </div> <bR> <div> Or a devastating hurricane. </div> <bR> <div> No, America is brought to its knees by a tiny flaw hidden somewhere in a 250,000-mile-long labyrinth of wires that twist through every city in the U.S.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Impossible?</B></div> <div> According to scientists from Carnegie Mellon, this catastrophe is "inevitable."</div> <bR> <div> How you prepare now could mean the difference between quietly profiting in 2010 or falling victim to this wealth-destroying event.</div> <div> Because unless you have an inside connection on Wall Street, you won't be able to sell a single share of stock once this disaster strikes!</div> <bR> <div> The fate of everything that matters to you -- how you make a living, where you keep your money, and even the safety of your family -- depends upon century-old wires that were installed during the Taft administration.</div> <bR> <div> I realize that in this age of smartphones and satellites, it may be hard to believe that our society could unravel because of something built so long ago.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Truth is, this threat is very real.</B></div> <div> FEMA admits these wires will fail, setting off a disaster that can strike "anywhere and anyone." <I>(In fact, it recommends you stockpile nonperishable food and water right now!) </I></div> <bR> <div> <B>This crisis forced California to declare a state of emergency.</B></div> <div> And President Barack Obama calls it "a matter of national security."</div> <bR> <div> I promise, once you hear what I have to say, you'll know everything about this coming disaster... how to prepare for it... and even how you can quietly make a bundle before it strikes!</div> <bR> <div> But a word of warning:</div> <div> As you'll see just ahead, you don't have much time.</div> <div> America's most forward-thinking investors are speeding their preparations for...</div> <bR> <div> <B>The darkest day in American history</B></div> <div> The warning signs have been ignored for decades...</div> <bR> <div> Now it's too late.</div> <div> This network of fragile wires will melt down, robbing you of everything you depend on... <I>even clean drinking water!</I></div> <bR> <div> It will essentially be like living in the year 1893 <I>(the year these wires were first stretched across America)</I>. You'll be afforded none of the benefits of the mass industrialization we've enjoyed over the past 117 years.</div> <bR> <div> <B>As </B><I><B>TIME </B></I><B>magazine reports</B>, all our "devices of amazing technological sophistication" will instantly be rendered useless.</div> <div> Just imagine life without necessities like heating and air-conditioning, refrigeration, or indoor plumbing... </div> <bR> <div> <B>Not a pretty picture, is it?</B></div> <div> I hope you've been watching <I>Survivorman </I>on the Discovery Channel, because on the darkest day in American history, you'll need survival skills to make it through this coming crisis.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Prepare now. Because the clock is running... </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>A ticking time bomb</B></div> <div> These wires weren't always about to blow. In fact, they were once touted as the "Greatest Engineering Achievement of the 20th Century."</div> <bR> <div> But what's about to happen to this network of wires could be the greatest investment opportunity of this century -- bigger than the Internet boom of the 1990s!</div> <bR> <div> <I>(You read that right! This "inevitable" disaster holds incredible investment potential. I'll explain why in just a minute...)</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>So what exactly are these wires?</B></div> <div> You may have guessed it by now...</div> <bR> <div> <B>These wires are the backbone of our electrical grid.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Specifically, the 250,000-mile-long patchwork of power lines that delivers electricity to every home, business, and public building in America.</B></div> <bR> <div> And yes, this vital system could fail anytime.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Here's why:</B></div> <div> Electricity powers just about everything we use today... from lightning-fast computers to flat-screen TVs.</div> <div> But our means of getting electricity from the power plant to the plug hasn't changed in over 100 years.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>This means we have the ability to generate massive amounts of energy by </B></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>splitting atoms in nuclear power plants</B></FONT><I><B>, but when we tap into all power, we use an electrical grid that's essentially an antique.</B></I></div> <bR> <div> "The [electric grid] is a dinosaur, a leaky, money-wasting system that remains shockingly vulnerable to accidents..." </div> <div> -- <I>TIME magazine</I></div> <bR> <div> This is very dangerous. America can't continue like this for much longer. Power demand is predicted to grow by at least 30% over the coming decade -- putting even "more stress on the grid and increasing the risk of blackout," according to the <I>Los Angeles Times</I>.</div> <bR> <div> Our electrical grid is over worked as it is -- at any given time 500,000 people are without power in this country.</div> <bR> <div> And these blackouts are costing us a fortune! <I>Scientific American </I>estimates the economic loss from all U.S. power outages is $70 billion to $120 billion each year!</div> <bR> <div> If you've never experienced a blackout before, it can get ugly real quick... Have a look at some of the worst blackouts ever... </div> <bR> <div> <B>The Great Blackout of 2003:</B> Power lines in Ohio fail, igniting the largest blackout in U.S. history -- striking every major metropolitan region from Detroit to New York City... millions run out of water... airports and train stations close... factories shut down... billions of dollars are lost.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Western Blackout of 1996</B>: For the second time in two months, major power lines fail, knocking out power to 8 states... cities including San Francisco are stuffed with stranded commuters... water pumps shut down... millions of dollars' worth of food spoils... this is just beginning -- California is rocked by rolling blackouts over the next 8 years!</div> <bR> <div> <B>The Northeast Blackouts of 1977 and 1965</B>: Two massive blackouts strike the East Coast... 30 million people lose power... New York City plunges into chaos... buildings are set ablaze... looting destroys hundreds of businesses.</div> <bR> <div> But there's an upside in all this... There's a group of people dedicated to making sure that blackouts like these never happen again. And they have a plan.</div> <bR> <div> An ambitious plan that will generate billions of dollars in business and create thousands of jobs -- a shot in the arm for our ailing economy.</div> <bR> <div> This plan is unfolding right now. As I write this, the country's most powerful politicians and most advanced companies are partnering to replace our outdated electrical grid with a revolutionary 21st-century power system called the "smart grid."</div> <bR> <div> The smart grid is safer and more secure, and uses intelligent controls to seamlessly meet electricity supply and demand -- ensuring that America will never have to suffer through another blackout. </div> <div> But only a select few companies have the know-how and the capacity to build this new, high-tech power grid President Obama calls...</div> <bR> <div> "An energy superhighway"</div> <div> Building the smart grid won't be easy.</div> <bR> <div> There are 9,000 power plants connected to 12,500 electric substations by miles and miles of power lines -- replacing our current electric grid is a monumental undertaking.</div> <bR> <div> But that's what makes this such an amazing opportunity... because the construction of the smart grid will spawn an industry that will grow <B>20-FOLD</B> in the next 5 years!</div> <bR> <div> Because the smart grid will not only protect us from blackouts, it will revolutionize the way we use energy. Let me put this in perspective with a quick analogy...</div> <div> Try to imagine what transportation in this country was like back in the 1920s and 1930s, before the Interstate Highway System was built.</div> <bR> <div> It was a tangled maze of poorly maintained back roads that were rarely the fastest or the most efficient way to get from point A to point B.</div> <div> Fortunately, President Eisenhower made an investment that revolutionized the way we travel -- an investment that made our lives easier and our economy grow.</div> <bR> <div> Now President Obama is making that same kind of investment in the way our energy travels -- by building an energy superhighway: an advanced power system that will allow us to have an endless supply of energy. </div> <bR> <div> "I'm pleased to announce that we are making the</div> <div> largest-ever investment in a smarter, stronger, </div> <div> and more secure electric grid."</div> <div> -- <I>President Barack Obama</I></div> <div> And he's not blowing smoke... the president recently put a $3.4 billion down payment on the new smart grid -- in addition to billions more in lucrative tax cuts for the small businesses looking to join him in this endeavor.</div> <bR> <div> <I>The Wall Street Journal </I>calls this funding "a major win for the high-tech industry." </div> <div> And this is only the beginning... In the months and years ahead, Pike Research estimates that smart grid spending will explode...</div> <bR> <div> <B>Growing into a $200 billion industry in the next 5 years!</B></div> <div> John Chambers, CEO of networking giant Cisco, says the smart grid revolution is...</div> <bR> <div> "Bigger than the Internet"</div> <div> I don't have to remind you that the Internet was a springboard for a new wave of high-tech businesses. The fact that you're reading this email is proof enough. Our lives have been completely transformed by the Internet boom of the 1990s.</div> <bR> <div> And the savvy investors who recognized the potential of email and the Web early on made a killing! <I>Maybe you were one of them... </I></div> <div> Either way, a lot of money can be made from recognizing these megatrends in their infancy. </div> <bR> <div> In fact, $2,000 invested in John Chambers' Cisco -- shortly after it went public -- is worth more than a half-million dollars today!</div> <div> <I>(The group of highly successful investors you'll meet in a few moments is dedicated to finding explosive stocks like Cisco... Its story, just ahead...) </I></div> <bR> <div> Sure, it's a bold claim to say the smart grid will be "bigger than the Internet." But it is by no means a stretch. The smart grid will forever change our lives...</div> <bR> <div> Here's why: Building the smart grid will allow us to do something we've wanted to do for decades... end our addiction to foreign oil.</div> <div> Last year, we sent $700 billion of our hard-earned money overseas to pay for oil -- <I>mostly to the OPEC oil cartel</I>. That staggering amount is roughly the same size as the gigantic Wall Street bailout (read: TARP) -- and we are just throwing it away every year!</div> <bR> <div> We could keep all that money in the U.S. economy if we started tapping homegrown alternative energy sources like wind and solar power. In fact, the government estimates doing this would create over 5 million new U.S. jobs!</div> <bR> <div> But there's a catch...</div> <div> The TRUTH about alternative energy</div> <bR> <div> Lately, there have been a lot of commercials on TV about alternative energy. Maybe you've seen them... </div> <bR> <div> They show a not-too-distant future where the pristine blades of a windmill quietly hum in the breeze... while gleaming solar panels produce megawatts of pure, clean energy... and we all drive around in shiny, <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>new electric cars</B></FONT>. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Sounds nice, doesn't it?</B></div> <div> Well, there's something missing from those commercials.</div> <bR> <div> Truth is, we can't just start building new wind and solar power plants and tap into alternative energy overnight. </div> <div> As <I>Bloomberg </I>warns, this would strain our outdated electric grid, "increasing the risk of blackouts." </div> <bR> <div> And as you saw earlier, this can lead to disastrous blackouts -- wasting billions of dollars and doing way more harm than good.</div> <div> The only way to achieve energy independence and tap into renewable energy sources is to build a nationwide smart grid.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Let me explain...</B></div> <div> What most Americans don't understand</div> <div> We can spend billions building solar power plants in sunny areas like Arizona, but all that power will never reach places that need it -- like cloud-socked Seattle.</div> <bR> <div> That's because our current electrical grid allows us to transmit power generated by alternative energy only up to 100 miles away.</div> <div> "The renewable energy industry was on its deathbed, the</div> <div> [smart grid] has revived the renewable industry."</div> <bR> <div> -- <I>Lewis Hay III, Florida Power & Light CEO</I></div> <div> Right now only small towns -- close to the source -- benefit from renewable energy sources like solar power.</div> <bR> <div> But as the smart grid spreads from state to state and town to town, we'll be able to build solar power plants on a large scale and power homes that are thousands of miles from the source.</div> <bR> <div> Just imagine the potential... wind farms in Texas will light homes in New York while hydroelectric plants on raging rivers in Idaho will power breweries in St. Louis. </div> <bR> <div> But until we have a national smart grid in place, alternative energy will remain a niche market -- benefiting very few Americans. </div> <bR> <div> Like the Internet was a launch pad for today's most advanced companies, the smart grid is the foundation of tomorrow's next generation of high-tech companies. </div> <bR> <div> That's why the nation's largest power companies recently announced they are investing <B>$4.6 billion</B> in the smart grid -- more than matching the government's commitment. </div> <bR> <div> The smart grid is quickly becoming a reality. Yet, by the time most investors hear about it -- the big money will already have been made. </div> <div> Don't be one of these hapless investors! You can get your share of the smart grid boom right now! </div> <bR> <div> Analysts at The Motley Fool have identified 3 innovative companies that are already cashing in on the smart grid phenomenon. And they've even invested The Motley Fool's REAL MONEY in one of them. I'll explain just ahead, but first, let me tell you... </div> <bR> <div> <B>Why the smart grid is a boon to this company</B></div> <div> Not only does the smart grid allow us to deliver alternative energy to more cities than ever before, it allows us to phase out the use of fossil fuels completely. Let me explain... </div> <bR> <div> On the island of Maui in Hawaii, there's a large wind farm that generates massive amounts of electricity by harnessing the powerful Pacific trade winds. But from time to time the winds will suddenly drop off -- forcing Maui to burn fossil fuels to compensate for the loss of power. </div> <bR> <div> But recently Maui installed a smart grid system that allows the windmills to charge a set of industrial batteries. Batteries so powerful they store enough energy to power the island -- picking up the slack when the wind dies down.</div> <bR> <div> Maui's smart grid automatically regulates the charging of these batteries -- creating an endless loop of power. Today, Hawaii has a reliable, fully functional wind farm, all thanks to smart grid technology. But this isn't an isolated case.</div> <bR> <div> Wind farms are popping up all over the country. In fact, over the next decade wind power is expected to grow by 360%! But as you know, these wind farms are useless without the smart grid and the key company you'll see in a minute... </div> <bR> <div> <B>How you can take advantage of this opportunity</B></div> <div> One of the biggest smart grid and wind energy players out there is GE.</div> <bR> <div> I'll admit, GE's excellent management and strong market share make it a solid investment.</div> <div> But GE is a $176 billion behemoth... it's one of the largest companies in the world!</div> <bR> <div> GE would have to pack on another $176 billion for its shares and your investment dollars to double in value. A feat that isn't likely to happen any time soon.</div> <bR> <div> IWell, this company's potential is twofold... </div> <bR> <div> First, it has a distinct advantage over other companies -- making it a popular place for wind energy and smart grid dollars.</div> <bR> <div> It's developed state-of-the-art power transformers that require less maintenance and yield benefits like greater corrosion and fire resistance and more emergency overload capacity.</div> <bR> <div> Its transformers generate less heat and are much safer and more dependable than the competition -- making it the go-to company for nuclear, wind, and solar power plants.</div> <bR> <div> Second, this company has a stranglehold on one of the world's fastest-growing alternative energy markets -- China. </div> <bR> <div> It's no wonder that since this company was first recommended to our tight-knit group of investors it has crushed the market by over 40%!</div> <bR> <div> I can't wait to give you this company's name and ticker symbol -- all the important details and how much you can expect to make when it takes off -- but out of respect for our members, I have to give all this to you in the form of a brand-new special report...</div> <bR> <div> It's called, <I><B>Bigger Than the Internet: 3 Undiscovered Grid Stocks Ready to Rocket</B></I>. And it's YOURS FREE for the asking! It's the best way I know to prove to you the mind-boggling potential of these 3 stocks... </div> <bR> <div> You've just read about one. You'll discover the other two straight ahead. But first let me show you why these 3 smart grid stocks hold so much potential... </div> <bR> <div> <B>The most profitable stocks in the market</B></div> <div> Believe it or not, a key advantage to investing in these companies now is that they are small and most investors have never even heard of them.</div> <bR> <div> That probably sounds crazy. But bear with me... <B>and take a look at these companies...</B></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700dc00000000.png" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Medifast </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700dc00000000.png" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Green Mountain Coffee Roasters </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700dc00000000.png" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">XTO Energy </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700dc00000000.png" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Hansen Natural </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700dc00000000.png" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Bally Technologies </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700dc00000000.png" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Southwestern Energy </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700dc00000000.png" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Terra Nitrogen </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700dc00000000.png" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Contango Oil & Gas </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700dc00000000.png" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Clean Harbors </div> <div> Amedisys</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> This web site information was culled from several sources by RadioZX from around the World including The New York Times</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/indexes/2010/01/19/todayspaper/index.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.nytimes.com/indexes/2010/01/1"><IMG SRC="101498170.gif" border=0 width="152" height="23" ALT="CLICK HERE for full Story by NY TIMES" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
