<h2> Financial bidding over Constellation</h2>

In September 2008, Constellation's financial situation became

precarious, due to its ties with the bankrupt investment banking firm <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Lehman_Brothers" title="Lehman Brothers">Lehman Brothers</a>. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Warren_Buffett" title="Warren Buffett">Warren Buffett</a>'s <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/MidAmerican_Energy_Holdings" title="MidAmerican Energy Holdings" class="mw-redirect">MidAmerican Energy Holdings</a> made an offer to buy Constellation, which the company accepted. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Electricite_de_France" title="Electricite de France" class="mw-redirect">Electricite de France</a> (EDF) also expressed interest in Constellation. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-2">[3]</a> The Wall Street Journal

reported that nuclear power companies were concerned that Buffet's

likely control of Constellation "gives one of the nuclear power

industry's biggest skeptics some important clout in deciding its

future." Buffet has rejected called nuclear power plants "too costly to

build," yet Constellation is half-owner of <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=UniStar_Nuclear_Energy&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="UniStar Nuclear Energy (page does not exist)">UniStar Nuclear Energy</a>, a consortium seeking to build new nuclear plants in the United States. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-3">[4]</a>

In December 2008, EDF offered $4.5 billion for half of

Constellation's nuclear business. "The French company wants to gain

generating capacity in North America and defeat a rival bid from

Buffett's MidAmerican Energy Holdings," reported the Washington Post.

"EDF's offer would force Constellation to invest in nuclear power,

which would mean less free cash flow, while MidAmerican's bid 'should

probably deliver a more stable dividend trend,'" one analyst told the Post. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-4">[5]</a>

<h2> Congressional campaign contributions</h2>

American Electric Power the single largest energy contributor to both

Republican and Democratic candidates for Congress. These contributions

total $383,250 to the 110th US Congress (as of the third quarter), the

largest of which has been to Albert Wynn (D-MD) for $11,000.<a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.followthecoalmoney.org">[1]</a>

Contributions like this from from fossil fuel companies to members of

Congress are often seen as a political barrier to pursuing clean

energy.

More information on coal industry contributions to Congress can be found at <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.followthecoalmoney.org">FollowtheCoalMoney.org</a>, a project sponsored by the nonpartisan, nonprofit <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.priceofoil.org">Oil Change International</a> and <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.appalachianvoices.org">Appalachian Voices</a>.

<h2> Coal lobbying</h2>

Constellation Energy is a member of the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/American_Coal_Ash_Association" title="American Coal Ash Association">American Coal Ash Association</a> (ACAA), an umbrella lobbying group for all coal ash interests that includes major coal burners <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Duke_Energy" title="Duke Energy">Duke Energy</a>, <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Southern_Company" title="Southern Company">Southern Company</a> and <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/American_Electric_Power" title="American Electric Power">American Electric Power</a>

as well as dozens of other companies. The group argues that the

so-called "beneficial-use industry" would be eliminated if a "hazardous"

designation was given for coal ash waste.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-desmog-5">[6]</a>

ACAA set up a front group called <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Citizens_for_Recycling_First" title="Citizens for Recycling First">Citizens for Recycling First</a>, which argues that using toxic coal ash as fill in other products is safe, despite evidence to the contrary.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-desmog-5">[6]</a>

<h2> Power portfolio</h2>

Out of its total 9,614 MW of electric generating capacity in 2005

(0.90% of the U.S. total), Constellation produces 44.2% from nuclear,

28.3% from coal, 13.0% from oil, 8.7% from natural gas, 4.7% from

hydroelectricity, 1.2% from biomass, 0.2% from geothermal, and 0.1% from

solar. Constellation owns power plants in California, Maryland, New

York, Pennsylvania, and Utah; 59.1% of its generating capacity is in

Maryland, and 25.2% is in New York.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-EIA-6">[7]</a>

<h2> CEO compensation</h2>

In May 2007, Forbes listed CEO <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Mayo_Shattuck&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Mayo Shattuck (page does not exist)">Mayo Shattuck</a>

as receiving $12.05 million in total compensation for the latest fiscal

year, with a five-year total compensation of $75.02 million. He ranked

7th on the list of CEOs in the Utilities industry, and 154th out of all

CEOs in the United States.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-7">[8]</a>

<h2> Personnel</h2>

In February 2009, Constellation hired former <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/White_House_Council_on_Environmental_Quality" title="White House Council on Environmental Quality" class="mw-redirect">White House Council on Environmental Quality</a> chair <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/James_L._Connaughton" title="James L. Connaughton">James L. Connaughton</a>,

for the new position of "executive vice president, corporate affairs,

public and environmental policy." Connaughton will "direct the company's

environmental and energy policy matters, as well as public and

government affairs," or lobbying. According to a Constellation press

release, Connaughton will help the company highlight its "low-emitting

merchant fleet, expanding renewable portfolio and energy efficiency

services, and its position as a leader in advancing the critical

renaissance of emission-free nuclear energy." <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-8">[9]</a> As part of the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/George_W._Bush" title="George W. Bush" class="mw-redirect">George W. Bush</a> administration, Connaughton was criticized for helping stall action on <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Climate_change" title="Climate change">climate change</a>, and misleading the public about air quality in New York City, post-9/11. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-9">[10]</a> <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-10">[11]</a>

(owner of Florida Power and Light) announced the acquisition of

Constellation Energy in a merger transaction valued at more than US$11

billion - as well as the fact that it would adopt "Constellation Energy"

as its name for the post-merger entity. The merger was canceled on

October 25, 2006.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-11">[12]</a>

On July 1, 2008, Constellation Energy bought uranium trading firm

Nufcor International from AngloGold Ashanti and FirstRand International.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-12">[13]</a>

<h2> Environmental record</h2>

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst have

identified Constellation Energy as the 33rd-largest corporate producer

of air pollution in the United States, with roughly 15 million pounds of

toxic chemicals released annually into the air. Major pollutants

indicated by the study include sulfuric acid, chlorine, nickel

compounds, and hydrochloric acid.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Constellation_Energy#cite_note-13">[14]</a>
