    Corn and Ethanol.

    At least we are thinking more about alternative forms of energy. That's a start. But with the mentality that the powers to be have, as soon as oil prices go down to acceptable levels (If it happens) everyone one will forget about ethanol, solar, or wind. I saw a commercial the other day...

    Corn and Ethanol.

    The cost for producing electricity from solar energy is still not cost effective. To produce enough electricity to supply one home would run between $25,000-$35,000 and you would still be dependent on the grid. To be grid independent , you would need a vast array of batteries that would take up...

    Corn and Ethanol.

    It's true that prices may increase as you say, but E-85 vehicles still run with gas with the present 5% ethanol as an additive. Point is---alternative forms of energy are being explored and ethanol is a renewable energy unlike oil unless you want to wait a couple of million years for more to be...

    Corn and Ethanol.

    We currently have an ethanol plant being built in Hopewell Va. I'm not sure but it may be the first one on the east coast. James I have to agree with you. Ethanol may not be a cure - all, but it is a start. I saw on the news today that we are finally using less gas.

    F Fund where will it go ?

    Three times in three months it has went to around 103.50 only to retreat into the 101-101.50 range. We are getting close to that now. I do agree that there is still some potential gain in this run. My guess is 1-2 days if the market complies appropriately.

    F Fund where will it go ?

    Hello All--- Looks like the F fund is getting close to the top of its trading range. If it has another positive day tomarrow, I'll probably go to G and stay there awhile. This will be my second move this month and I'm not sure how to interpret TSPs policy on how many transfers a month, so I...

    TSP Warning Letters

    Bottom Line--- They're backstrokin- plain & simple. If 3000 TSP members have that big of an impact on the funds as they claim. Imagine those same members suing TSP for losses because they were unable to transfer to the safety of the G - fund. I know someone has probably allready mentioned...

    TSP Warning Letters

    anidoc--- I firmly belive that TSP will eventually have to explain their expendatures. Right now, they are blaming the 3000. But common sense dictates that it's the L-funds that's the culprit. I don't know what oversight commitee governs TSP ( there are alot more people more knowledgable on...
