On May 29, 2009, U.S. District Judge Larry J. McKinney ordered Duke Energy to shut down three units of the Wabash River Generating Station for violations of the federal Clean Air Act. In 2008, a jury found that Duke-owned Cinergy had modified the facilities without installing best-available pollution control technology. In his ruling, Judge McKinney cited increased sulfur dioxide emissions from the units and gave a deadline of September 30, 2009 for closing them. Duke’s Chief Legal Officer Marc Manly said the company was disappointed with the court’s decision to “accelerate the shutdown.” The units, which supply 39 percent of the station’s power, were slated to be taken off line in 2012.[1]
An appeals court overturned that order in 2010, allowing Duke Energy to restart the units.[2]
In Sep. 2011, Duke Energy said it is considering shutting down several of the six units at Wabash River Station, in expectation of impending coal regulations

Ugh. I just inherited some DE stock. Hoped it would be profitable.
Pays a nice dividend. The company seems okay for a long haul. Maybe like money in the bank. Ye ole rainy day fund.
Electricity? Who needs it?
Wait until the dumbass liberals, especially the greenie jackasses, find out that these power plants produce the electricity they use to charge their cell phones, lap tops and Voltswagens. LOL! Are those morons in for a rude awakening. Right now they all think that the electricity is somehow produced by the walls in their apartments.
Oh, it may be very profitable. Just may not produce a lot of electricity. A parable, if you will, for the entire stock market.
