In little more than a decade, the discovery of economic methods to extract natural gas from shale
has exploded traditional assumptions about the world's energy future and reversed trends across
the power business. But the shift has only just be-gun, and more big changes are on the way.

For many utilities there is a razor-thin difference in the price of electricity generated by natural
gas and by coal. Slight changes in fuel price can therefore produce dramatic swings in production
costs, creating market opportunities for utilities with both gas- and coal-fi red assets and assured
fuel supplies. Utilities considering new gas-fi red assets have several options.
