Dominion VA Power in Virginia is advertising "Deregulation will be coming
to Virginia. The crisis that's occurring in California will not." Almost
8,000 megawatts of new "power" is scheduled to be online by 2005.

Pepco(serving DC and MD) says the same. 15,000 megawatts coming online
but that number is shared among several companies in the "PJM".
