IDT Corporation Helps with Haitian Relief Effort

Haitihouse destroyed Reacting to the tragic earthquake in Haiti which took place in January of 2010, IDT Corporation, parent company to IDT Energy and IDT Telecom, responded generously in several different ways. IDT Telecom was uniquely able to address the issue of communications in Haiti, which was severely damaged by the earthquake, hindering relief efforts and contact between family and friends. With the help of IDT Telecom it is now possible for loved ones to contact their family members and friends in several different ways. One of those ways was by IDT Corporation lowering their rates significantly on their PennyTalk™ prepaid international calling card. The rates to land-line and mobile phones were reduced to only two cents for one minute.

IDT Corporation also announced that it will donate 100% of all its net proceeds which it collects from the use of IDT Telecom’s Boss Revolution prepaid calling service to the American Red Cross’ relief efforts in Haiti, until Feb 28, 2010.

Corny Idea Just Might Work: Ethanol Replacing Oil as Biofuels Grab Hold The Midwest of the United States is showing potential for helping the country become less dependent on foreign sources of energy such as oil, and improving the condition of the environment. The new “cash crops” such as corn and soy beans, are sources of ethanol, which is an eco-friendly additive to gasoline; and biodiesel, which is a clean fuel used to run trucks and buses. The corn is being transformed into these biofuels using great wind turbines at giant industrial plants.Analysts who support development of biofuel technology claim that if more energy is purchased from the Midwest instead of the Middle East, energy prices will stabilize and oil imports will be reduced. They estimate that over the long haul wind power could grow from a mere 1% of the U.S. power supply of today to more than 20%. They also predict that ethanol and biodiesel fuels could eventually rise to 20% of transportation fuels from only 4% today.
