After spinning off its gas subsidary, its concentration is solely on electricity. I'm kind of confused about the wind power, but heh... what do i know about making electricity. Whatever makes electricity in turn makes money for Duke. And if Duke's making money, I am too. Good Price. Excellent Fundamentals. Great Management. I just read Duke's 2006 10-K and I'm very stoked about this company. They practice what they preach.
