In other Alternative Energy / Renewable Energy news and happenings: BGE, a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC), the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with 2014 revenues of approximately $27.4 billion was recently awarded grants to four schools in central Maryland for the student-designed comic book covers they submitted featuring BGE's fictional gas safety hero, Captain Mercaptan and his two sidekicks, Sunny and Piper. The winning entry was from St. Stephen School in Kingsville, Md., which received the $10,000 top prize to use for a school enrichment project. Overall, $35,000 is being awarded by BGE to area schools as part of the contest. Captain Mercaptan takes his name from "mercaptan," the safety scent that BGE and other gas utilities add to normally odorless natural gas to give it a distinctive, easy-to-detect smell.
