Another electric/gas play for the long term, this company is a good size too, not too big, but not too small. Not sure what happened around 2000 to cause such a large price drop, but it seems like they have recovered nicely.

Loads of debt, earnings aren't looking pretty in the future. I'm not entirely sure why other people are excited about this stock. I'd love someone to show me the light
