Saving money options

Savings accounts: Here are some of the different accounts that you can open to save money.

Standard: The tried-and-true. This is the type of savings account most Americans have. Some have zero or low minimums. Do this if…you’re starting out and don’t have a lot of money to put into the account. Interest rates are low on standard accounts. Don't leave too much here, though...just enough to cover an emergency. You are just costing yourself a lot of money in lost interest.
CD: This is a certificate of deposit. Banks often let you open a special kind of account with better rates than you would get in a regular savings account. But you have to keep your hands off that money for a certain amount of time (usually a few months up to a few years). Do this if…you won’t need to access that money for the period, and you want a “can’t touch this” way for your cash to earn interest.
High-yield savings account: An account where you put more in and get more back. The interest rates are often higher, but you usually need to invest a certain amount to get one. Do this if…you have more money to invest and want the flexibility of withdrawing it at any time.

As the carbon dioxide management bill - aka cap and trade - looms in Congress, a new study from Oregon State University emerges that ends the scientific debate on the central causes of ice ages and warming periods on Earth. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is fond of saying that the scientific debate on global warming is over - and while he may now be correct in the fact that a debate has come to an end, the central cause behind climate change does not support the carbon cap legislation that is being cobbled together by Mr. Gore and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Congress.
