Coal/alternate energy industry

Article Abstract:

The investment forecast for coal and alternative energy in 1995 is not positive, with only AES Corp and California Energy having favorable long-term prospects. The US has 300 years of reserves in coal, second only to China, and low prices, due to a large and stable supply. Electric utilities now consume 80% of coal's production, which set a record of 1,029.5 million tons in 1994, but negative environmental and economic concerns make coal's future uncertain.

Coal/alternate energy industry

Article Abstract:

There is considerable potential for long-term capital appreciation with independent power producers in the coal and alternate energy industry. They are now going overseas to avoid domestic competition and decreasing revenue. The need for electricity in emerging markets is now more substantial and global markets are more open with build-own-operate-transfer contracts. These stocks are best, however, for speculative investors.

Coal/alternate energy industry

Article Abstract:

Expectations for independent power producers (IPPs) are positive, depending on the newly emerging international markets. There is now a glut of domestic electric production and domestic regulatory changes can also hurt alternate energy producers. However, emerging markets in China, Pakistan, and India offer good prospects for IPPs. Some, but not all, investors can find stocks in this industry for long-term speculation.
