Consistent value would be one possible answer, and then only part of the time. Fortunately, once the gold has been found and infrastructure put in place, there it remains waiting for those with the time and money to take it out and profit by it.

Congress Urged To Extend Tax Credits for Solar Energy Commercial R & D and Investment

The time has finally arrived for solar energy and other so called “alternative” sources of energy. But companies have been slow to take up the mantle until now, when oil prices have changed consumer habits. “Other nations have very generous incentives for solar energy and are leading in investment in this area," said Victoria Hadfield, president of SEMI North America. "Now is the time to extend the ITC for solar energy. Failure to do so will ensure that these investments are made overseas." With that as background, SEMI, the global industry association that serves the manufacturing supply chain for microelectronic,…

On the lighter side, despite trailing last year's crop, this season's corn harvest is expected to reach 12.1 billion bushels; the second largest ever recorded. Soybeans should yield around 2.93 bushels; down from prior estimates, yet still the fourth largest crop on record. Let us hear your…
