UTILITIES
No one talks about the "sleepy" utility industry anymore. Energized players like No.3, Calpine, No.13, aes, and No.19, Duke Energy have aggressively grabbed the opportunities opened by deregulation of the world's power markets to vault to the top of our list. Consider Calpine Corp., with its 2,142% return to shareholders over the past three years. By 2005, ceo Peter Cartwright aims to be generating enough power to light up 70 million homes. With power likely to be in short supply for years, Calpine and its rivals see a bright future.
