Energy Trading and Investing is the popular guide to earning stunning profits in the energy markets—from fossil fuels to renewable energy. It brings readers up to date on everything they need to know about the energy revolutions that are changing the world—how fracking has the U.S. awash in cheap oil and natural gas; how alternative energy technologies like solar and wind are shaking up utilities; and how changes in the electrical grid are being addressed by multi-state organizations. This book offers practical advice to help energy investors choose profitable energy investments.

It provides detailed information on every topic important to energy investors, including:

  • Natural gas, electricity, petroleum, coal, weather, and emissions markets
  • Details on financial products, like futures, forwards, swaps, and options
