could be. And it also means that distrubuted generation is coming. A co can buy its own mini-power plant and sell the excess power to the util co. This should really begin to take off in 2001 and 2002 as more of these units come to market.

<<BTW, Check out American Superconductor (AMSC). It's under $1 billion. >>
