patron, First Energy (FE) has some good nuclear exposure also. They purchased the two plants where I used to work and own several in Ohio. Friends that still work for them report a good work environment and a company dedicated to spending to keep the plants in good material condition. homer

I would warn u all to be careful <ng>... there is quite a bit of uncertainty with all of those -- first there is regulatory uncertainty second it is not a given that unregulated suppliers are going to continue to rake in the dough -- some have both nat gas and good generation, but some are pretty leveraged, too -- having both and size isn't going to guarantee more profits -- they are already priced much much higher than utilities -- one day the build out on capacity in other parts of the country will be an overbuild -- if it happens conncurrent with a recession the volatility in electric prices could flatten out these guys make most of their money in 40 - 60 days of the year. You may be buying yesterday's news ...
