The Energy Bonanza Nobody Sees Coming

It’s the biggest land grab since the Louisiana Purchase.

And you’ll never guess the country behind it: Canada, our normally docile northern neighbor.

The prize? The North Pole, home to a massive resource treasure trove: 90 billion barrels of oil and 1,670 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, to be precise.

That’s 15% of the world’s undiscovered oil and 30% of its gas.

Don’t be surprised if you haven’t heard about this northern power play. Few Americans have.

That’s because Canada’s foreign minister kept it low-key, quietly filing papers with the United Nations in late 2013 claiming the North Pole as part of Canada.

But alarm bells immediately went off in Moscow, where Vladimir Putin ordered his defense chiefs to build up military units in the Arctic. That’s not surprising. Russia has long claimed the North Pole was theirs, too.

An Urgent Profit Alert

So why all the interest in a place that’s shrouded in darkness for months on end and where temperatures routinely fall below -15 degrees Fahrenheit?

Shockingly, the answer has little to do with the massive bounty that lies below the frozen Arctic Ocean.

It has everything to do with two seismic shifts that are going to upend global energy markets forever—and unleash an explosive opportunity that will create more millionaires than anything that’s come out of the U.S. shale boom.

That’s why we’re writing you with this urgent profit alert today.

In a moment, we’ll show you how you can discover the names of 7 companies perfectly positioned to take advantage of Canada’s audacious move.

But to get the complete picture of what this means for your financial future, you need to know exactly what pushed this quiet country to do the unthinkable.

One Door Closes…

Canada’s Arctic push comes as its biggest customer—the U.S.—marches toward energy independence thanks to hydraulic fracturing, which has unlocked massive amounts of oil and gas trapped in the ground here in America.

That’s great news for us, but it’s a dagger in the economic heart of Canada. Because here’s the problem: we’re their biggest customer.

In 2010, Canada sold us a staggering $ 92 billion worth of oil and natural gas. That’s more than twice what Saudi Arabia sold us, but that number has been dropping ever since, and it’s got them worried.

Worse, President Obama has effectively shelved the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have carried crude from the Canadian oil sands to the Louisiana coast, where it could have been refined or exported.

The Canadian Energy Research Institute estimates that between 2011 and 2035, pipeline constraints and price discounts could cause Canada to lose out on a potential $ 130 trillion in GDP and $ 276 billion in taxes.

You may be wondering then, with their number one customer effectively sticking it to them, why Canada would risk an international incident by claiming the North Pole.

The reason is stunningly simple. They’ve just found a massive new market for their massive supply: China.

…Another Door Opens

The reality is, with over two trillion barrels of oil in the ground and American demand plunging, Canada needs a big new customer—and fast.

And there’s no place on Earth more in need of energy than China.

According to the International Energy Agency, Chinese energy demand will grow 60% by 2035. Right now, the Red Dragon is burning through so much oil that it just passed the U.S. as the world’s largest importer.

China has already sunk its claws into the Great White North’s massive oil and gas supplies. Here are just a few examples:

  • Chinese government-backed PetroChina has taken a $ 2-billion stake in two Alberta oil sands projects;
  • Chinese energy company Sinopec has tied up over $ 4.6 billion in the Canadian oil patch;
  • And China Investment Corp. spent $ 821 million to snag a 45% share of another oil sands project.

Even so, Canada is still left with almost no way to get its landlocked oil to its new partner.

But the missing piece of the puzzle is about to drop into place, thanks to a climate trend that will connect the world’s largest energy importer with the biggest exporter—creating a situation that could make you rich.

Profit From the “New Silk Road”

Before we go any further, you should know that at Investing Daily, we’re agnostic about the global warming debate. But no matter where you stand, the bottom line is that the Arctic ice is meltingand far faster thananyone expected.

And the shortest route connecting China to the eastern side of the Americas runs straight through the Arctic. It’s no coincidence that Canada’s bold move came after two ships recently sailed through.

The voyage’s results were staggering: the shortcut sliced 1,000 miles off the journey for one of the vessels, which was carrying coal from Canada to Finland, saving its owners $ 80,000 in fuel costs.

Now imagine that type of savings on ship after ship, and you begin to see the method in Canada’s madness.

We call this energy’s new Silk Road, because of how it profitably connects China to the West, like the incredibly lucrative trade routes to Asia the Portuguese discovered in the 1400s.

But no matter what you call it, the opening of the Arctic shipping routes is a game changer.

The truth is, the battle over who really owns the world’s northernmost point could rage on for years, but it really doesn’t matter, because while the bureaucrats duke it out, the ice continues to melt—and China’s oil demand continues to grow.
