Syntroleum & Tyson Get Tax-Free Bond Status for Dynamic Fuels Venture (SYNM, TSN)

Syntroleum Corporation (NASDAQ: SYNM) has announced that Dynamic Fuels LLC, a 50-50 joint venture between Syntroleum and Tyson Foods Inc. (NYSE: TSN), has received final approval from the Louisiana State Bond Commission for $100 million in tax exempt Gulf Opportunity Zone (GO Zone) Bonds. 

This will be used to fund the building of the venture’s renewable synthetic fuels facility located in Geismar, Louisiana. This $100 million is the maximum amount that can be granted for a project under policy guidelines adopted by Louisiana’s Bond Commission.  The companies are planning on initial production starting in early 2010.

Dynamic Fuels was set up to convert low-grade inedible fats and greases into renewable synthetic diesel, jet and military fuel.

If you are flying a plane in 2011 or beyond and you think you keep smelling fried chicken, you might be a Dynamic Fuels client.

The Average American Is Losing Their Savings Every Day (Sponsor)

If you’re like many Americans and keep your money ‘safe’ in a checking or savings account, think again. The average yield on a savings account is a paltry .4% today, and inflation is much higher. Checking accounts are even worse.

Every day you don’t move to a high-yield savings account that beats inflation, you lose more and more value.

But there is good news. To win qualified customers, some accounts are paying 9-10x this national average. That’s an incredible way to keep your money safe, and get paid at the same time. Our top pick for high yield savings accounts includes other one time cash bonuses, and is FDIC insured.

Click here to see how much more you could be earning on your savings today. It takes just a few minutes and your money could be working for you.
