Column: Va. must hold electric utilities accountable

This opinion column is standard fodder -- utilities need to be better regulated -- that doesn't make any particularly novel arguments, but that doesn't mean it should be ignored. Whenever these kinds of "crusading" op-eds pop up, utilities need to quickly rebut them (or at least present their side of the picture). The average reader might find this op-ed fairly compelling, so it's your obligation to offer competing (and compelling) information.
