"Over the seven months that NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy talked about merging, without mentioning it to any ratepayers, word that the Richmond energy giant might be on the market slipped out far enough to attract another bidder."

"If the plan’s central purpose is to demonstrate that Virginia doesn’t need to tamp down the growth of data centers to preserve energy affordability for residents and achieve the decarbonization goals of the VCEA, it fails."
