tom8oes,
Nice to see your still around. What's the deal? Will we ever be back to where we were?
Let's hope so!! Now I know where ya'll have been hiding out.:)
Thank the Indian's:
Once the purchase rights to the land are secured, FFI agrees to use its best efforts to purchase the land and submit a Fee-to-Trust application with the Bureau of Indian Affairs that would designate the land parcel as federally protected Tribal Trust Land for the Tribe. Upon successful conversion to Tribal Trust Land, the Tribe agrees to lease the land to FFI for the ethanol facility when satisfactory lease terms are concluded.
When the facility is in production and operating profitably, FFI shall pay Ambient a royalty equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the pre-tax net income of the ethanol facility for its operating life.
Upon the approval of the Fee-to-Trust application on behalf of the Tribe and the completion of land lease agreements, FFI’s proposed waste-to-ethanol production facility would be built on Tribal Trust Land. As such, the ethanol facility would be exempt from the state of Pennsylvania’s permitting requirements, thus eliminating permitting expenses and expediting the process. Moreover, it is anticipated that one possible source of financing for the construction of the waste-to-ethanol production facility would be through bonds issued on favorable terms from the Tribe.
Tom8,
You have mail! I like this action Jackson! Luck to us all!

Alternative-Energy Stocks Shine As High Oil Costs Here To Stay Marie Beerens
Fri Mar 3, 7:00 PM ET
BaBaBaBabbby, You Ain't Seen nutn yet!
Ethanol, solar power and even pig manure are starting to look like good alternatives to today's high energy prices.
ADVERTISEMENT
That's created lots of opportunities for investors. Alt-energy stocks have taken off, especially after President Bush touted new technologies in his Jan. 31 State of the Union address.
"We've got a number of renewable and emission-free technologies which are on the cusp of becoming commercially viable for the first time," said Brion Tanous, managing director at Merriman Curhan Ford & Co., a San Francisco-based institutional research and investment banking firm.
Companies range from old-economy giants like Archer Daniels Midland that have an alt-energy play, to IPOs that may be close to turning a profit.
There's a renewed buzz about ethanol. It's an alcohol made out of corn, sugar or other organic material. Mixed with gasoline, it reduces how much gas is needed to run cars and trucks.
Agribusiness giant ADM (NYSE:ADM - News) is by far the top U.S. producer of corn-based ethanol, with a 29% market share. ADM has risen 11% since Bush's big speech.
But corn-based ethanol is costly, even with government help. Also, it's relatively polluting.
Many, then, are pinning their hopes on cellulosic ethanol. Microbes help break down wood chips and grass into alcohol. The process promises to be cheaper -- and "much greener than the corn-based technologies," said Alex Farrell of the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California, Berkeley.
"Four to six years is probably the appropriate time for (cellulosic ethanol) to be cost-competitive with corn," said Neil Koheler, CEO of Fresno, Calif.-based Pacific Ethanol (NasdaqNM:PEIX - News).
Pacific's revenue is surging from a low base, mostly due to distribution and higher prices of ethanol. It's not expected to be profitable until 2007, after it starts production. Still, shares have doubled since late January.
Bush last month visited a Johnson Controls factory where the auto parts maker is developing an advanced lithium ion battery -- like those used in laptops. It would let a hybrid car run up to 40 miles and could be recharged via a standard electrical outlet. The hybrids would have a gas tank for longer distances.
Fuel cells, which convert hydrogen into electricity, have long been touted as a green way to power vehicles. The only byproduct: water.
Many experts say fuel cells for cars are two decades away from being viable. But Tanous predicts, "In a decade from now, we're going to have a notable number of fuel cell vehicles on the road."
Quantum Fuel Systems (NasdaqNM:QTWW - News) develops hydrogen fuel systems for vehicles, and also for stationary and hydrogen infrastructure markets.
"This company is well-positioned to benefit prior to the full fuel-cell automotive market being developed," Tanous said.
Distributed Energy Systems (NasdaqNM:DESC - News) makes hydrogen generators and power systems for oil rigs and other remote sites that need on-site power but can't rely on the electric grid.
"That's an example of a market that is thriving today," said Tanous.
But not every firm has much of a market yet.Ballard Power (NasdaqNM:BLDP - News), an auto fuel-cell pure play, is a cautionary tale for investors. The Canadian firm surged 548% from 22.38 in November 1999 to its March 2000 peak of 144.94. But, with no end of losses in sight, Ballard reversed, falling 96% by its final bottom in May 2005.
In contrast, several publicly traded solar power firms already make money. They use thin films made out of photovoltaic cells to turn sunlight into electricity.
It still takes about 10 years to recoup solar panel costs, though that is a lot less than a few years ago. Costs are largely driven by polysilicon, which chipmakers also covet.
The upside of solar's big upfront costs is that they are predictable. And after that, costs are nearly nil.
Robert Stone, alternative energy analyst at Cowen & Co., sees solar getting to parity with grid-supply electricity prices in five to 10 years. Even if solar cost slightly more, he said, "people would rather have the green renewable energy even if they have to pay a little bit more."
SunPower (NasdaqNM:SPWR - News) posted its first profit in the fourth quarter. The California firm uses a unique design, placing all electrical contacts on the back of the solar cell. It lets more sunlight enter, generating more electricity. It focuses on the residential market.
SunPower's stock has surged 140% since its November IPO.
Fast-growing Suntech (NYSE:STP - News) has been profitable for three years. China's top solar cell maker benefits from local low-cost resources. It's up 149% since its Dec. 14 NYSE debut.
Evergreen Solar (NasdaqNM:ESLR - News) uses thinner wafers of silicon, halving its costs. It's still in the red, but Wall Street expects profit in 2007.
Wind power costs less than solar, but it requires remote areas and ways to distribute it. Still, some estimate it could supply up to 20% of U.S. electricity. General Electric, which is making a big green push, said wind turbine (NYSE:GE - News)revenue soared 200% to $2 billion in 2005.
Some firms are turning organic waste like cow and pig manure into methane, a natural gas.
Environmental Power (AMEX:EPG - News) is building the largest U.S. biogas plant to generate natural gas for industry. It's expected to lose money until 2008.
I'll drink to that!
Techno,
What a few of these guy's don't know is the fact we opened a office last year in Eu and Moscow did we not? Are they still up and functional? This could explain some of the reason's to why Herda logistically picked these areas of the world.
Ice
Techno,
Let these guy's keep believing what they want. Our ship will come in and hopefully ALL the ones that always are so negative about this company will regret ever selling or trying to short us! Have a good one!

After reading Eco Energy's Businees Development program, I do feel a little better. After all, they have been dealing in this field for a while and seems they know something we don't. Shi*, waited this long, moght as well stick it out a while longer. Nice read: The last sentence says it all,IMO!
Eco-Energy has developed over the years from strictly an ethanol trading business in the early days of the company to a full-scale marketing partner with ethanol production facilities. Our strategy is to provide the marketing services necessary for the ethanol production facilities to maximize their return on investment and continue to remain a preferred supplier to the petroleum industry. The business has grown into a fully integrating marketing company supported by an experienced sales force, a knowledgeable logistics and scheduling department, customer service, and an online computer system the ethanol plants access to streamline all necessary correspondence for daily shipments and transportation transactions. The focus of our business development group has been to align ourselves with companies that bring competitive advantages to the ethanol industry through location, cost, or technology to ensure long-term viability and success of the partnership.
Boy, I just got through reading RBull, boy did I ever learn a lesson! Now I realize why my PYPR went to shi*! Who's ya buddy, who's ya pal? It will be a long time before I take a cetain individual's advise, that's for sure!! Tom, gotta keep me posted! Come on dude, we all need to know these things. BTW, where did the guru go, or is that MD also? I'm pissed! Tell MD I hope he chokes on a fish bone when he is spending my GD money! No good for nothing MF!
On the other side of things, NSOL needs to unleash their tech soon! Getting tired of waiting on this also!

I got one, you need to call the company and see what the hell is going on! This is B/S!
I was actually reading this;http://news.yahoo.com/fc/us/terrorism
And when you go to Port and Boarder security, and go to the link on cargo security, that's what you get. I just find it funny with all the Sh*t hiiting the fan with DHS's decision to turn 6 ports over to the RagHeads is a little ironic that their web page is down. Go figure! That's all. Sure would be a great time to hear news on that front!
Ice
What's up with this: http://www.tsa.gov/public/error_404.jsp
Somethings up! No thought's on the NEW port security?
Yes indeed, in fact he had been telling me to sell until he heard that on the radio. Then he called me and told me what ever I do, hold my position. This is a man that has been around the block a few times also. Luck to us all! Sure hope they start loading the gates soon! Patience, I guess.
Ice
Trader, a month or so ago, a friend of mine heard on a financial radio talk show that NSOL WAS a small cap stock to have on your radar due to the fact that they formed FFI and even talked about their Nuke Detection being used to replace all the ones in every international airport and 5 major ports throughout the US. We gotta be getting close,JIMHO!
Ice
Is this the quite before the storm? Inquiry minds want to know! LOL Techno, what is your best guess when **it will hit the fan?
Ice
That's a big 10-4! Wished I would have bought when Tom8 introduced it at 5.00. PEIX that is. IMO, we need Herda to step up the process and get this puppy rolling.

What's really sad are the people down here are still waiting on FEMA trailors from Rita. But then again, it's like the gov. forgot about that hurricane all together. Rocked my world! You should see all the trailors they have stocked piled on acres of land, just sitting there going to waste. Amazing! Our tax dollars hard at work. Give it another 12 months and they will be giving campers away. I can hook you up!
