How Alabama Power has left the ‘American Amazon’ at risk

Environmentalists and local residents are raising alarms about toxic coal ash waste from Alabama Power's Plant Barry, threatening the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, known as the "American Amazon." More than 21 million tons of coal ash are stored in an unlined lagoon along the Mobile River, held back by earthen dikes, a situation federal regulators and advocates argue poses a severe risk of contamination, despite claims of compliance by Alabama Power and state regulators. There are concerns over potential environmental disaster similar to the 2008 Kingston spill, as well as economic impacts, particularly given the vulnerability to extreme weather events like hurricanes.

Southern Company price target lowered to $76 from $87 at KeyBanc

KeyBanc has lowered its price target for Southern Company (SO) to $76 from $87, while maintaining an Underweight rating on the shares. The firm believes that Southern's growth opportunities are more limited than the market currently recognizes, largely due to a recent three-year 'stay-out' and a lack of new rate adjustments in its largest jurisdiction. This situation is expected to hinder Southern's ability to increase its EPS growth rate, leading KeyBanc to view the stock as an unattractive source of funds with a potential for its premium relative to peers to shrink.
