"Lately I have been looking for stats on uranium mining."
Short term, nuclear energy is dead, thanks to 40 year old reactors suffering 2 major disasters in Japan. Long term, they are our only currently known energy answer. Sunbeams and pinwheels are greenie toys.
Apparently the author hasn’t heard of the Barnett Shale, Fayetteville Shale, Haynesville Shale, Bakken Formation, Marcellus Shale, oil shales in the West, deep-water discoveries in the Gulf and Brazil, undeveloped prospects in Alaska, oil sands in Canada, huge coal deposits throughout the US, lignite deposits in the Ark-La-Tex, and this is just for starters.
Add in Arctic exploration by Norway, Russia, and others (Canada?), and "Peak Oil" is still a big yawn and Hubbert is still a lunatic, 50 years later.
Long SDRL (SeaDrill). Long BEXP, KOG, LINE, and ERF (all in Bakken E&P).

Osman, Thanks for another interesting and informative article. "Benjamin Franklin"? - 3rd paragraph.
@RRobertSmith: I hope SDRL is not going out of "bizzness". I just loaded up on the dip.
@beststockpicker. Windmills and Sunbeams are pipe dreams. Expensive, heavily subsidized, requiring 100% conventional backup (for when the wind doesn't blow, or at night for example).

CO2 is plant food. Global warming is a scam.
Nevertheless, NG is cheap and plentiful. The Honda Civic GX runs on NG. Only $1.39/gal(equiv), but 2 problems with the GX: only an 8 gal tank and they charge $1.39/gal PLUS $10 for fill-up. My wife worries when the tank is less than 1/2 full, so getting a 6 gal fill-up costs $3.06/gal. 2nd problem is I haven't found any place to fill-up in San Antonio. The EPA site map shows a location in downtown San Antonio, but the address is listed in Dallas. Typical EPA incompetence.
I'm long MO, and smoke. I'm currently testing an electronic cigarette, which could damage US tobacco companies. World-wide (I'm also long PM), not so much. It's pricey to start, but less than a buck a pack after buying the initial kit (battery/atomizer/char...

Long CVX, RDS, EPD, MMLP, SDRL, LINE, and ERF. All nice energy dividend payers.
Also long BEXP and KOG, but zero dividends.

Dividend Champions: Focus on Utilities [View article]
PPL looks good in your chart:
Dividend = 5.51%
5 year DGR = 7.8%
10 year DGR = 10.2%
Recently however, its DGR trend looks less appealing:
2006 to 2007 DGR = 10.9%
2007 to 2008 DGR = 9.8%
2008 to 2009 DGR = 3.0%
2009 to 2010 DGR = 1.4%
2010 to 2011 DGR = 0.0% (recently frozen @ $0.35)
Thanks for this article (and previous ones).
Using your info, I am long SO, CNP and AEP (all over 5% div.)

Wouldn't you have to subtract the opportunity cost from that 12%?
The uncaptured dividends amount to almost 7.7%.
Your net yield would be 4.3%.

Perhaps because yesterday's +$1.70 was an over-reaction?
