Doug, You might want to evaluate how old the nukes are also. The plants were originally designed for a 40 year life. It will be difficult/expensive to get them to last much longer before decommisioning. regards homer

re: nuclear power If my memory is working today, I believe that PE - Peco Energy or something like that, bought some nuclear power plants a few years ago for pennies on the dollar. I used to own the stock about 9 months ago because of that. Of course, my old saying buy what I sell and I will make you rich is still true today.

Re: Nuke Plays - They also need to be in areas which are economically strong enough that they don't "conserve" when confronted with higher prices. Like California (the more money than sense state), Texas, Arizona Weak areas would be New England, upper Midwest/Rust Belt, probably Florida.. You'd also want a reasonable regulator environment - that might knock out California, except the Governor, Gray Davis, has centrist economic policies and probably will not to much (if anything)to hurt business. Also slightly off topic, what about Uranium plays ? Is the overhang of re-processed weapons material still keeping prices down ?
