Entergy (ETR), PG&E (PCG), Edison International (EIX) Focus of Uncertain Risk Factors

Even though it's ignorant of politicians to act as if they have something to do with the nuclear industry because of an unprecedented earthquake in Japan that hasn't' been seen in well over a century, that hasn't stopped those attempting to curry political favor to comment on the event.

Media outlets are also acting like the government has to somehow regulate the industry even more. Regulate it from what? Earthquakes? More people will die from the earthquake and resultant tsunami than any effects of the nuclear industry; even if there are any.

For Entergy Corp. (ETR), PG&E Corp. (PCG), Edison International (NYSE:EIX), they're apparently under scrutiny and may face delays, especially Entergy, as it seeks to renew licenses for four of its reactors. At this time Entergy operates 12 reactors at 10 sites in Arkansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, and Vermont.

Edison International closed Monday at $36.78, dropping $0.98, or 2.60 percent. Pacific Gas & Electric closed at $44.41, down $1.34, or 2.93 percent. Entergy ended the session at $70.09, down $3.60, or 4.89 percent.

Bank of America (BAC) Cuts Entergy (ETR), Scana (SCG) on Japan Nuclear Issues

Challenges from the earthquake in Japan to its nuclear reactors has put pressure on a number of stocks with exposure to the industry, and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) downgraded Entergy (NYSE:ETR) and Scana (NYSE:SCG) as a result, although numerous other companies with nuclear exposure are down today.

Cuts to Entergy and Scana were based upon the probability they'll have to pay higher approval and relicensing costs in light of the nuclear power crisis and focus in Japan, said the giant bank.

Other stocks being strong affected today are General Electric (NYSE:GE), Edison International (NYSE:EIX), PG&E, Exelon (NYSE:EXC) and Xcel Energy (NYSE:XEL).

Entergy is trading at $69.94, down $3.75, or 5.09 percent, as of 11:55 AM EDT. Scana was at $38.85, down $1.20, or 3.00 percent.
