⚡ Virginia should produce more of the power Virginia needs.

PJM and regional markets matter

but there’s a difference between trading with our neighbors and depending on them.

With electricity demand surging, Virginia needs one standard: reliable, affordable and abundant energy.

Dominion’s filing was the canary in the coal mine. It’s time we listen.

⚡ Virginia can’t demand more electricity while limiting how we produce it.

We’re adding enormous new power demand while Richmond increasingly dictates which sources can meet it.

Eventually, those policies collide.

The grid doesn’t care about politics. It cares whether enough reliable power is available when we need it.

Virginia needs an energy policy built around reality

not mandates.

This is part 5

⚡ If you want to understand Virginia’s energy problem, follow the demand.

Virginia’s electricity needs are growing fast, especially from data centers. But demand and supply have to balance every second of every day.

If dependable generation doesn’t keep pace, we have to find that power somewhere else.

Dominion’s fuel filing and PJM market prices may be the canary in the coal mine.

⚡ What happens when everybody needs power at the same time?

During extreme cold, Virginia is competing in the regional market for electricity when everyone else needs it too.

PJM isn’t the problem. Dependence is.

As Virginia’s demand grows, we need enough dependable generation here at home—or ratepayers will feel the consequences.

Part 3: Demand and Dependency .

⚡ There’s a difference between participating in an electricity market

and depending on it.

In its filing Dominion says purchased power represented roughly 46% of its actual fuel expenses during the period we’re examining.

That doesn’t mean 46% of our electricity came from somewhere else. But it does raise an important question:

Why has PURCHASED power become such a significant part of what Virginia ratepayers are paying for?

Virginia’s electricity demand is growing rapidly. If our ability to produce dependable power doesn’t keep pace, that electricity has to come from somewhere.

PJM is an important part of keeping our grid reliable. But as demand grows, we need to understand the difference between using the regional market

and becoming dependent on it.

Part 2 of our deep dive into Virginia’s energy future.

09/03/2026

⚡ Virginia’s energy problem may be bigger than your next electric bill.

I found the VCIJ article on Dominion’s nearly billion-dollar fuel-cost shortfall interesting

but I wanted to dig deeper.

So I went straight to Dominion’s fuel-factor proceeding before the State Corporation Commission.

What I found raises some much bigger questions about how Virginia is powering its future, how much we’re relying on purchased power, and who ultimately pays the price.

Dominion’s filing may be the canary in the coal mine.

This is Part 1. We’re going to follow the numbers.

Today, my man, Robby and I played a little game. It was called. Beat the rain.

Jay Jones and Richmond Democrats tried to put politics between local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement.

Now a federal judge has stepped in.

Blocking Virginia from interfering with existing 287(g) agreements and finding the federal government is likely to succeed on major constitutional claims.

Jay Jones may not like federal immigration law. But as Attorney General, his job isn’t to pick which laws count.

Keep your word. Stay in your lane. Let law enforcement do its job.

The rule of law isn’t optional just because Jay Jones disagrees with it.
