Gene Therapy for Diseases. Gene Therapy has made important medical advances in less than two decades. Within this short time span, it has moved from the conceptual stage to technology development and laboratory research to clinical translational trials for a variety of deadly diseases. Among the most notable advancements are the following:
Duke Energy's merger with Progress Energy, completed in July 2012, created the largest electric utility in the United States. In fact, two of the three largest U.S. utilities are the result of recent mergers. Exelon, third on the list of the 10 biggest U.S. utilities, merged with Constellation Energy in March 2012. Duke will now service 7 million retail customers across six states.
You may be surprised to know that, despite owning one-fifth of America's capacity, none of Exelon Corporation's 10 power plants rank in the top five. Facilities from Southern Company (NYSE:SO) , NRG Energy (NYSE:NRG) , and Duke Energy (NYSE:DUK) do make the list, however.hile only 19% of the nation's total electricity needs are fulfilled by the energy source -- which pales in comparison to France's 75% -- America's capacity of 102 gigawatts is nearly more than the next three countries combined.
