Every American property owner should strive to be energy independent. It is un-American to be reliant upon the government for anything.  Virginia's state controlled energy monopoly reeks of euro-socialist bureaucrats who instead of incentivizing de-centralized entrepreneurship to citizens to make electricity and sell it back to the grid, sellout to the power industry for graft and control. Virginia – of all states – birthplace to Jefferson and home to many of our nation’s Founding Fathers fails to live up to the revolutionary legacy they are charged with upholding. How prepared are we for disaster when the power will fail and all but a few Virginians will have homes with solar capability?  There is lack of vision in Richmond!
