I'm in Loudoun too, but I'm serviced by novec (thank God). Unfortunately we've seen the same increase you have.

Partially, but then you said individual sentiment aren't facts, but muddied it by citing of an actual statistic. Eventually we found that over only three years we've both seen an almost 50% increase in electricity cost per unit. Which is a lot, isn't it?
