I finally got the second issue of BHUR out the door today. This one discuses items in Warren Buffet’s annual letter that relate to Berkshire’s utility business, as well as a review of the Berkshire 10-k. I also take a look at Electricity North West, a UK utility up for sale that is adjacent to Berkshire’s existing UK operations, and how the Raiders’ new Las Vegas stadium will receive power from an alternative energy provider. The issue also gives information about PacifiCorp’s largest power plant, one named after a “Mountain Man” from the 1800s.
