EXCELON CORPORATION - Nuke profits help Excelon's Second Quarter Results

Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) shares are trading down 3.79% despite
positive second quarter results released July 23, 2008. The Company's
second quarter 2008 consolidated earnings prepared in accordance with
GAAP were $748 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, compared with
earnings of $702 million, or $1.03 per share, in the second quarter of
2007.

Exelon's adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the second quarter
of 2008 were $746 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, compared with
$700 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, for the same period in 2007.
"Our strong second quarter results primarily reflected higher margins
at Generation largely due to our first-rate operating performance. We
also continue to realize the benefits of a large fleet of extremely
well-run nuclear plants amid rising environmental pressures," said John
W. Rowe, Exelon's chairman, president and CEO. "We recognize, however,
that protecting these benefits requires that we actively meet our
customers' needs for affordable energy in a climate constrained
environment. As a result, last week we announced a comprehensive
strategy to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons
of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 with both efficiency and new
sources of supply." To read the entire article, click here:

Raser Technologies (NYSE/Arca: RZ) is trading off 5.47% despite

negotiations and finalize the terms of the power purchase agreement

At the same time Piper Jaffray was initiating coverage on Raser with a
"Sell" rating and a target price of $7 commenting, "Although state
Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) in the Western U.S. create solid
business opportunities for Raser, we believe the risk associated with
their new plant technology and with geothermal resource exploration are
not fully reflected in the current share price." To read the entire
