Petrolium costs will continue to weigh down this industry. As the transition is made from oil and coal to other methods of electric generation. The costs of adding the infrastructure will be high and it will be decades before the costs are recouped.

The percentage of MWh generated through nuclear is impressive. Less impressive is the fact that their owned Northern Illinois distributor, Commonwealth Edison, has become a major political football with more rate freezes pending.

A P/E of nearly 28 is outrageous no matter how diversified a modern utility is. I live in Chicago and just don't see much upside to EXC stock, especially when well-run orgs. like Southern and Dominion chug along fairly reliably with half to two-thirds the P/E.
