Why is the Department of Energy giving massive subsidies to transport plastic from PA to IN so it can be burned at a steel mill that is already one of the biggest polluters in the country? This project is a financial loser and an environmental justice nightmare.

I'm not smart enough to decipher whether AES Indiana's long series of mess-ups are helping or hurting my bills at this point

Would it be cheaper to operate Edwardsport IGCC as a gas plant instead of gasifying coal? Duke witness: "Yes, it would." So why is Duke operating it as an IGCC, which is more than $60 million per year more expensive in O&M alone? 🤔

Indiana’s jobs increasingly don’t pay the rent. 14 of Indiana’s 20 most common occupations now pay median wages that are less than what a full-time worker needs to afford a modest two-bedroom rental home at the state’s average fair market rent, up from 9 occupations in 2022.

Aluminum is a key ingredient in clean energy tech. But the ubiquitous metal is very dirty to make. In my two-part Canary Media project, I look at the high-stakes quest to decarbonize this essential material. Today’s piece takes us to eastern Kentucky 1/ canarymedia.com/articles/clean…

Over widespread community opposition, DOE is forcing this dirty boondoggle onto Hoosiers. It's "the poster-child of shifting the economic and environmental risks onto the back of the public to enrich the few at the expense of the many" per Kerwin Olson indianacapitalchronicle.com/briefs/controv…

NIPSCO is proposing a $45 per month, or $543 per year, rate increase by 2026 in a new rate case filing. The last 3 Indiana utilities to file a rate case -- NIPSCO, Duke, and CenterPoint -- have each requested $45+/month residential bill increases. iurc.portal.in.gov/docketed-case-…
