JT Cloud, CEO The combined experience in the petroleum industry, international logistics and trade, Gulf Ethanol is an established leader in emerging energy technologies. "Microbe raises investors' hopes / Organism is able to turn plants into cellulosic ethanol," Washington Post. In the midst of a energy crisis, nations and leaders are scrambling for resources and alternative means of powering the economy. This is not a local issue that can be resolved by simply digging another hole in Texas. Last year we watched the national average price for a gallon of gasoline spike at $3.80 per gallon. Less than two years ago the price of standard crude oil was less than $25 per barrel. By April 21 of 2006, it reached a record of $75.35 per barrel. And given the mounting tensions in Iraq, Iran, and Venezuela, multiplied by the ever increasing world demand, there’s no indication that this strain will be eased any time in the near future. Strap on your seatbelt... an alternative energy is about to take the world by storm.

Take a look at recent investments made by some of the richest and most successful people in the world: Bill Gates, the richest man in America, allocated $84 million into Pacific Ethanol, Inc. Sir Richard Branson, chairman of the Virgin Group and worth an estimated $3 billion, has plans to invest $300 to $400 million to produce and market this promising alternative fuel. He says, “This is the win-win fuel of the future.” Vinod Khosla, “guru” of Silicon Valley, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, and one of ethanol’s most vocal advocates, has invested millions of his own dollars in private companies involved in the development of ethanol. What’s more, industry titans are recognizing the value of providing the American public with an alternative. Wal-Mart announced that it is considering offering corn-based ethanol at its 383 gas stations throughout the U.S. Not to be left behind, several Big Oil companies, including Shell and Exxon Mobil, are funding ethanol research. A booming industry, to be sure! It will only get bigger from here… Factors Driving Alternative Energy Investments FREEDOM FROM FOREIGN OIL: Ethanol could free America from its reluctant dependence on foreign oil. This is not a pipedream, conjured up by some pro-U.S. idealists. Not at all. Brazil has turned that vision into reality, where 70% of the vehicles in that country are sustained on ethanol. Brazil's ethanol plan has successfully replaced imported oil worth an estimated $120 billion. To put it into perspective, this would translate to a savings of about $2 trillion for an economy equivalent in size to the U.S. INCREASED INCOME TO U.S. FARMERS: In terms of economics, there is no clearer choice for the American public. It would mean higher farm incomes and we would see a steep increase in rural employment. THE TECHNOLOGY’S IN PLACE NOW: The technology to run cars on ethanol already exists. General Motors alone has built more than 1.5 million ethanol-compliant vehicles. IT’S RIDING THE “GREEN WAVE”: And let’s not ignore the fact that ethanol is believed to be much more environmentally friendly than our current petroleum. Many experts agree that a switch from gasoline to ethanol could significantly reduce our carbon dioxide emissions, some say by as much as 80%. Ethanol’s appeal extends throughout interest groups. The U.S. government, American car manufacturers, environmentalists and the agriculture industry are all strong supporters of this alternative fuel. The Alternative Energy Boom! Markets already reflects this growing momentum, some up to 400% and more! Since March of this year, three companies involved in ethanol production have filed for IPO’s with the Securities and Exchange Commission - VeraSun Energy Corp., Hawkeye Holdings Inc. and Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings Inc. Pacific Ethanol, Inc, is currently trading at mind-boggling levels. Since Bill Gates made his investment, shares jumped from about $10 to a high of $44.50. It now seems to have leveled off around $25/share. Archer-Daniels-Midland Co., the largest ethanol producer in the U.S., has seen its stock double in one year.
