Coal/alternative energy industry
Article Abstract:
The coal/alternative energy industry appears to be entering a growth phase, after ten years of relatively slow growth, that should continue to keep it in the top rankings for Timeliness. Leading energy industry independent producers have capitalized on the demand from Eastern European, Asian and Latin American markets by acquiring existing foreign power plants or building new ones. Potential investors should be aware of risks that could come from lower prices and government deregulation of electric utilities.

Coal/alternate energy industry
Article Abstract:
Analysts give the highest timeliness rating to the coal and alternate energy industry, partly because of high demand for energy in developing countries. However, risk is created by the expectation of deregulation of public utilities. The new standards for emissions by electric utilities will increase demand for low-sulfur coal. Large-scale consolidations in the industry include Ashland Coal's merger with Arch Mineral.
