Southern has entirely to large of a coal presence in its energy production portfolio to be considered a winner of increasing international and domestic pressure to cut emissions. SO will likely find itself with large upgrade costs to reduce the CO2 emissions of its coal burning facilities and I don't see substantive increases in its nuclear power plant holdings to offset this hit to its EBITDA.

As long as summers stay this hot in the South and Southern Company keeps making air conditioning possible, this stock looks solid to me - and the 5+% dividend has helped lift my portfolio from abysmal to merely bad this past year or so - one of the few stocks I own that's not in a loss position.

Death, taxes, and utilities will always be with us. SO is one of the very best run of the utility companies, has a depressed-at-the-moment stock price, and currently pays a 6+% dividend. That's a hard combination to find!

-Southern Company has a natural monopoly in its market (Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi). This equates to a stable and consistent cash flow.
-While most companies are reducing their dividend, SO recently increased its annual dividend to $1.75 per share.
-SO will be one of the first to benefit from an economic recovery. Increased economic activity means more demand for electricity.
-It sells a product that everyone needs - electricity.
