 Power monopoly 
It sure would be nice to treat Dominion Virginia Power the way they treat their customers; get screwed, we'll do what we want. Unfortunately, they have a local monopoly. I just contacted NOVEC, a local power cooperative, and was told that they do not provide service in my area. Virginia Power is in the process of cutting most of the trees in one of the most popluar parks in Virginia, the W&OD Trail. They claim it's to prevent power outages from downed trees. From what I've seen, that wouldn't be possible for 20 years given the size of many of the trees that they've cut.
