Puget Energy plans solar power project Mon Dec 4, 2006 2:47pm ET SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Puget Energy (PSD.N: Quote, Profile , Research) said on Monday it issued a request for proposal, or RFP, to develop a 500-kilowatt solar energy project, which would be the largest in the Pacific Northwest and double Washington state's solar power output. The solar plant would be at subsidiary Puget Sound Energy's Wild Horse Wind Project in eastern Washington and could be generating electricity by late 2007, the utility said. The 127-turbine Wild Horse Wind Project, together with the 83-turbine Hopkins Ridge Wind Project that was completed last year northeast of Walla Walla, produces enough electricity to power about 125,000 homes. The Wild Horse solar project will have the capacity to power an additional 300 homes. today.reuters.com

The Rogers Fund takes big bucks. More than I am willing to commit and as I recall it charges a hefty fee too. But I have been adding small positions for years to QRAAX, Oppenheimer Natural Resources Fund. It tanks every now and then, as a matter of fact it is tanking now, so I may add to it. Does charge a load. A good chunk of QRAAX is in oil and gasoline, for for those of us who think its a no brainer that oil is going to become more expensive over time, it's worth a look. Also pays a dividend. Another one is Pimco Commodity Real Return Fund. It's down pretty good right now, too. There is also an ETF that tracks commodities. DBC, although I haven't researched that one much. Looks like it hit a pretty good low back when gas prices tanked last fall.... and may I add..anybody who invests on the basis of what I say here needs a brain transplant. Do your own research yada yada yada... besides I have a hangover. For all I know my evil twin is making this up..... amex.com
