...high-end spice market would be a notable accomplishment for the two career changers. TSP adviser Bob Burke, principal of Natural Products Consulting, who helped strategize for popular brands like Stonyfield Farm, Annie's Homegrown and Oregon Chai, says the two have a reasonable shot at success. "They're quick learners with an innovative concept that they execute with style and flair."

"A lot of utilities supplement their main power sources with quick-acting oil- or gas-driven generators on the hottest days of the year," says Lee Schipper of the University of California, Berkeley. Schipper estimates the cost of peak usage is 20 cents per kW-h, as opposed to an average of 13 cents for "baseload capacity" usage...
