My bet is this cold weather is masking the nuclear issue. I was hoping for a little pullback here and some cold weather to hopefully be followed by a rude awakening when the first signs of heat appear. But the nukes keep dropping, the NA NG stocks keep rising and the weather still is forecasted to be cold here. The end of May and I have my heat on this evening here in Ohio.

This cold weather wont last forever.

The nukes get allot of media attention when they pop offline, not so with coal units. They both have had several years of being squeezed and it looks like some forced down time is due here.

Calif. 560 MW Sunrise power plant in final testing
Reuters, 05.28.03, 4:13 PM ET

LOS ANGELES, May 28 (Reuters) - The 560 megawatt Sunrise combined cycle gas-fired plant in California is in the final stage of start-up testing and should enter commercial operation "soon," a spokesman for merchant power generator Edison Mission Energy said on Wednesday.

The Sunrise facility, near Bakersfield in central California, has been expanded from a 320 MW simple cycle plant that was opened in June 2001.

One megawatt is roughly enough power for 1,000 homes.

Edison Mission, a unit of Edison International (nyse: EIX - news - people), operates the plant and has a 50 percent stake. Its partner is an affiliate of ChevronTexaco Corp. (nyse: EIX - news - people)

Combined cycle plants, where two or more gas turbines are used in conjunction with a steam turbine, can be used to generate power around the clock while simple cycle plants are mainly operated during periods of peak demand.

Cooper was scheduled for decommissioning. I don't think there is anything to become alarmed about. They are building a 2x1 ccpp nearby in Beatrice, Nb to replace the power. I don't think Cooper will be coming back on line at all.
