Lots of rain in 2020 meant good news for Alabama Power customers.
Preliminary figures showed the company produced significantly more hydropower in 2020 than projected, placing 2020 as the eighth-best year on record for hydroelectric energy production.
“Hydropower is one of the most cost-effective sources of energy,” Alabama Power hydro General Manager Herbie Johnson said. “The more hydropower produced, the better for our customers.”
With hydropower, there’s no need to purchase fuel since the source of the energy is a renewable resource rain. Hydropower also creates no emissions, helping protect air quality.
Of course, hydropower is subject to the whims of Mother Nature, since it depends on ample rainfall to keep reservoirs filled.
Delta Air Lines closed the books on a disastrous 2020 with a comparatively small fourth-quarter loss, and executives expect a few more rocky months before they hope widespread coronavirus vaccinations and testing might salvage something of the upcoming summer travel season.
Delta on Thursday reported a quarterly loss of $755m and $12.4bn in losses for all of 2020. It is the largest annual loss in the history of the airline, which dates to the 1920s, and the global pandemic ended a decade in which Delta churned out a profit each and every year.
The fourth-quarter numbers likely would have been worse but for a December increase in air travel that likely contributed to another surge in virus infections as millions crossed the United States to spend time with family and friends during the holidays.
