Let's face it, if you are in an industry where Google is pouring billions of dollars of capital, then there is probably something structurally wrong with the way you are doing business. That is where the utility space is right now, and Google isn't the only ones doing it, either.

Find out why these trends should terrify utilities and how investors can avoid the pitfalls of one of the biggest changes to American energy by tuning into the video below.
