Virginia fact of the day

Virginia saw one of the smallest increases in electricity costs in the nation this past year, per new federal data, but it could get even higher as data centers proliferate statewide…

By the numbers: Between May 2024 and May 2025, the average cost of electricity for residential customers in Virginia rose about 3%, from 14.95 cents to 15.41 cents, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The negative media bias aside, I find this encouraging.  OK, “…could get even higher,” but the nationwide average was 6.5%.  Here is the full story.  Via Andy Masley.
