Description:
In the game of Monopoly, the Electric Co. is a safe, dull play; it is priced low and generates modest income. In the real world, though, the electricity business is rougher than a rodeo bull ride: Governments have joined environmental activists in challenging permit applications for new coal-fired power plants, prices for coal and natural gas are volatile as never before, and states are requiring utilities to meet growing proportions of electricity demand with renewable energy.
