The coal burning utilities have dodged the bullet on carbon emissions, temporarily. It will be interesting to see if mercury ever plays out. The biggest issue of concern near term is the classification of coal ash as hazardous by the EPA. Duke has many acres of ash ponds in the midwest. It's time to stop burning solid fuels.

Generally speaking, utilities are over-valued on a relative basis versus the broader equity universe. This is a rotation play as investors seek higher returns in relatively undervalued equities with a potentially superior risk return profile. Although debate may reign with regards to the efficiency of markets, it seems reasonable that investors as a whole will seek to put capital allocated for equities into those segments with lower intrinsic values. Utilities have been a "safe" harbor during the recent economic storm, but soon investors may leave the safe harbor for other destinations.

Pretty high multiple for a utility as DUK approaches 15x P/E.

Until the OIL prices slows down or platue's every energy besides oil will fill the pinch. Watch this stock once investors get burned by putting all there eggs in one basket (OIL). This stock will struggle for several months until the price/berrels settels. Until then i have to watch in dissappointment.

They're trying to build a coal plant and two nukes. That ain't popular around here. Especially not when they're projecting it'll cost $2B to due just one plant.

This stock is a good buy and undervalued.I like it because it is a local stock and a DRIP.

P/E Ratio much too high for this class of equity.

Sector Play - The utility sector is out of favor as a result of rising Inflation. Regulated prices make it hard on utilities to pass through rising costs to customers.

Just when you thought it was safe....WASHINGTON -- In a decision that could mark a turning point in the national debate over climate change, a divided Supreme Court ruled that carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases are air pollutants under the Clean Air Act, and that the Bush administration broke the law in its refusal to limit emissions of those gases.

The 5-4 decision was a victory for environmental groups, which had pushed for such a ruling, and a blow to the nation's auto and utility industries, among others, as well as the White House. The Bush administration has steadfastly opposed mandatory curbs on the ...
