They are not releasing for a lousy 2 hours because they want to generate cheap power for a couple hours ... right now they are releasing to control the "real" potential for flooding based on what is coming our way. They dont want to release do to additional downstream flooding. All of you that think that martin dam is some huge power generation source for Southern Company is TOTALLY wrong. It supplies a very small percent of power needs for Alabama. ALL the hyro generators combined supply less than 5%. When they do generate through releases in the summer it is for one of two reasons ONLY:

1. satisfy required releases
2. help meet peak demands of summer

They normally do two as part of satisfying #1.
