Virginia (Dominion) electric rates went up dramatically, and are now in the same rough price band as 29 other states, because they were well below average. Important context, in my humble opinion.


We can't leave money on the table for all those below average prices - so let's raise them all to the average... oh wait


Is this why median is usually better when discussing things, since the median may not change at all or may go down in this circumstance?

obviously the average goes up in this circumstance...
