Alternative or renewable energy are fuel sources other than those derived from fossil fuels and are typically not as harmful the environment. These days, fossil fuels are considered dirty and dangerous and are on their way out with renewable energy on its way in. At Paragon we look across the whole spectrum as biofuels, solar, wind and geothermal energy.  Looking towards renewable energy that is sustainable not only will help decrease our dependence on foreign oil, but also creates jobs and keeps the environment clean. 

Over the past several years China has jumped to the forefront of the headlines both in the developed and the developing world.  The relationship over the past 6 months has taken an interesting shift.  The Americans, who for so long pushed for their style of democratic governance and “free” market ideologies have fallen prey to and caused one of the worst bouts of economic downturn in 2 generations.  The Chinese are not quite at the stage of saying “I told you so,” but they are starting to consider the possibility of filling, at least partially, the void which some expect the US may eventually leave on the international arena.

The largest internet population, the largest polluters, one of the largest holders of US assets, the largest work force, the largest standing army – no matter what way you cut it, China is a force to be reckoned with and one that needs to be experienced to be understood.  With expertise on the ground in the region, Paragon is able to leverage of the relationships that it has built over the years to bring you an intimate understanding of what doing business and investing in China means for you and your portfolio in the Paragon CHINA Report.

About 45% of the Oil and Gas industry revenue comes from crude oil with the remaining coming from natural gas. The industry has annual revenue of about $890 million. Oil accounts for between 34% and 40% of global primary energy. Dependence on foreign oil is still high and subject to price fluctuations. Today, natural gas is increasingly replacing coal for the generation of electricity and oil for vehicles as it burns more efficiently than either.

As oil and gas are a non-renewable natural resource the industry is faced with an inevitable eventual depletion of world oil supply.
