However, any approval by the Illinois Pollution Control Board to give Dynegy five years to meet environmental standards for coal-fired power plants in Illinois could create a bullish momentum play for those investing in energy, especially if natural gas prices move upward this winter, considering the company's trading pattern is correlated with the direction of natural gas futures.
