The first money fund - The Reserve Fund - was established in 1972, enabling the small investor to invest in these instruments. Today, more than 1300 money funds are in operation, with total assets of over $1 trillion dollars.

It promised that if I took the time to answer a series of questions that they would find a "perfect match" for me. Imagine that? All the work and worry of being single - gone! We truly have evolved!

"Renewable energy (sources)" or "RES" includes all sources of energy that are captured from on-going natural processes, such as solar power, wind power, water flow in streams (hydro power), biomass, biodiesel and geothermal heat flows. Most renewable forms of energy, other than geothermal and tidal power, come from the Sun. Some forms are stored solar energy such as Rainfall and wind power which are considered short-term solar-energy storage, whereas the energy in biomass is accumulated over a period of months, as in straw, or through many years as in wood. Capturing renewable energy by plants, animals and humans does not permanently deplete the resource.
