Nuclear Energy Alternative, Renewable?
Energy independence means displacing foreign oil for the most part. Nuclear has long been in the game for 50 years to do exactly that, as well as less enviromentally palatable coal fired plants. While coal is by no means out with "gasification", nuclear is also rejoining the debate. As we get better at safely managing nuclear plants the world has exploded in use of the "clean" silent energy source. Explore who has mastered the use of "clean" nuclear energy as part of the larger world "renewable" debate.
Corn Burning Cuts Bills Half
When it comes to finding money laying in your backyard, corn might be the ultimate pot of gold. Corn-burning furnaces are no joke. When combined with a small amount of wood pellets they have high BTU output, clean burning, and can beat home heating oil for fast payback of conversion.
Ag Sector Seizing Biofuels Opportunity
Call it a wave, or a landslide, but biofuels is heating up the agribusiness sector in every corner. Who are the "players" in this world-changing arena? Farmer-member commodity groups are hopping all over the idea they can command a "new energy" regime by turning their commodities into real value-added biofuels, and they are the early the early movers. Seed and chemical companies are endowing brands of ag products as "biofuel" ingredients. You'll see every kind of ag player trying to find some hook in this territory ahead. Follow this revolution as it happens here on the Country Roads Network's Ag Journal.
Oil Might Be Our Alternative Energy
We might find America's alternative to Middle East oil might be our own oil under Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado. Long known as "Oil Shale" or "Tar Sands", many attempts have been made to make economic sense of this giant reserve. Many estimate it is larger than all known Arabian reserves, but remains largely locked up from use. Read about this major oil "vault" an how price controls its future use. When we say "oil" and "energy" we usually mean "cheap gas" and "cheap heat and electricity". Tomorrow may find us rethinking this equation of entitlement.
Alternative Energy In Your Backyard
You have a glut of alternative energy to mine in your own backyard. Geothermal has many advantages including faster payback than many other forms. Using heat pumps to remove heat or reversing for cooling your home is a long used and perfected system. Low maintenance, low cost and high efficiency sounds like an ideal formula. It just may be for you. More and more contractors are available for turn-key results, or you can simply "DIY" with great success, and save thousands on a typical install.
WIND: Your Own Utility
Farms now can become their own utility with wind energy. Power companies will work with farmers to get their feeds directly into the grid or to feed in the excess energy as a credit to their electrical use billing. If you go to this link Energy Department you will get a look at maps of your state and estimates of average wind energy available.

Lower Grain Prices May Restore Biofuels Profit
As the Bailout plans engage, and alternative fuels get significant help there, commodities prices are falling in the grain sector, with good weather and big crop in sight. Where will cost and price spirals end in agriculture? Recent floods and damage has lowered acres, while yields are estimated to be down little. Recent weeks have seen grains moving higher but by October the outlook was changing. However, input costs and fuel will cramp profits on farms as 08 harvest begins. The few largest players have pushed prices of inputs to farmers about all they can stand, with little in past two years for mercy, while record profits stacked up with likes of Monsanto and the major fertilizer companies, like Cargill. Biofuels have finally collided with animal feed and human use of crops, and USDA has struggled to finally get the new Ag Bill closure in place. Candidates seem to ignore the ag sector as they have referred to speculation of continuing health in farming for years ahead. However, if $4 corn and $9 beans settle in, few believe the highly inflated prices of inputs will be sustained. The fertilizer industry has been taking a hit on stock markets, as well as such blue chippers as Monsanto and John Deere, with both stocks cut in the mid October markets by up to half previous highs. Monsanto was downgraded as analysts see little real news other than continuing business as usual, and seeing much more competition from other technology. As response Monsanto upgraded their forecasts, so some strengthed outlook may restore their stock to a "Buy" from the "Hold". Little down John Deere's heavy involvement in credit sector will cause some review of their overall outlook ahead. While agriculture has enjoyed some "Safe Haven" posturing, it may not last if global recession becomes more apparent among trading partners. Consider the dynamics of $1000 an acre corn-soy income isn't going to offset price spirals for getting a crops in and out. CRNET senior editor, Bob Miller, was told by reliable sources of a large tract of top land going for over $300 an acre rent this spring, as result of an auction. We've found many others passed $200 across the Cornbelt states this year, and it will be higher next year. Considering land was in old rent zones of 100 to 175 across the cornbelt with corn at $2 and beans at $6, you can multiply the factors now and get your own idea. The old 30% crop share with tenant paying all expenses is looking good in most zones. New rent schemes that lowers risk for the tenants will be emerging now. One ag industry veteran told Country Roads he rented his own land for basis of $110 to set up old price basis, then he added 25 times difference between $2 corn and December futures for bonus, you do the math. We will monitor and report any other creative rents we hear of here. Every agribusiness sector seems to sense frenzy of worldwide export buying and commodities are all abuzz. While analysts keep touting that "techs" are displacing agri-sector investments, nothing seems to be really cooling off. Soybeans at $16 corn a $8 is no longer speculation. Wheat is next to show its cards. A weak U.S. dollar has propelled market speculators. Still, more weather trauma can send prices beyond even these thresholds. What is the fallout from all these rapidly compressed fundamental changes? We'll be looking into each sector in weeks ahead, for both South American crop impact which is counter-cycle to our North American 2008 cropping season. They are in their dormant period now, awaiting plantings in our fall. Stay tuned to the Country Roads Network for insight. (CRNET PLANTING UPDATE) Experts say trend is not short term...
