>>Nuke plants have operating costs that are generally lower than those of fossil-fuel plants, chiefly because uranium is in abundant supply and available under long-term contracts that lock in prices, a certainty the operators of natural-gas-fired plants can only dream of.<< fortune.com

prufn.com "In the cyclical areas, we still favor names within the papers, chemicals, and energy groups and as reiterated on several occasions in recent weeks, we see favorable technical patterns continuing within the oil service sector. Some of the component stocks within the OSX (oil service index) that are anticipated to play a game of ‘catch-up’, pending a little bit of retrenchment at current levels, are: Varco International (VRC-17.26, not rated by Prudential Securities Equity Research), where near-term support is seen at 15.50-16.00, Nabors Industries (NBR-39.10, not rated by Prudential Securities Equity Research)+, where we see near-term support at 35.00-36.00, and Rowan Companies (RDC-20.76, not rated by Prudential Securities Equity Research) where we see near-term support at 18.50-19.00. Respective objectives, in our opinion exist to: VRC-19 and then 24, NBR-40 and then 46 and RDC-24 and then 28. An additional name in the natural gas area is Burlington resources (BR-40.29, not rated by Prudential Securities Equity Research) where we see near-term support at 37-38 and objectives to 44 and then 50."

Re: natural gas and USU Gas supply outlook Despite 3D seismic and other new technology, US dry gas production has remained essentially flat after averaging an annual growth rate of just 1.4% in 1983-1994, said Papa. "Last year, industry [capital expenditure] was up 70%, because every company knew that, if they drilled a gas well, they would get rich," he said. But that huge jump in spending resulted in just a miniscule 0.5% increase in US gas production. In fact, production during the fourth quarter of 2001 was down 2% from the same period the previous year, Papa said. That's largely because decline rates for US gas fields have escalated to an estimated 26% last year from 16% in 1990 and will likely hit 29% this year, he said. As a result, Papa predicted, "It will be extremely difficult to grow the US gas production base" before 2010, the earliest period by which a pipeline can be built to move Alaskan gas to the Lower 48 ogj.pennnet.com Sounds like people may be looking for alternatives to gas burning power plants real soon. BTW gas prices have soared over the past few days.
