Are REITs and Utilities Good Dividend Investments?

I did a study awhile ago comparing 40 electrics on total return. This was the conclusion:
• The bulk of electrics had a median 100 percent capital gain over ten-year period while giving an average dividend yield of 4.82 percent per year.

Most utilities have fuel escalation clauses. ThinK: Higher population; global warming; computers, internet, street lighting, air conditioning. Utilities should continue to do quite well. Check out performance of FPL, ED, EXC. I am happy.
