You’re listening Deep Dive: WFHB and Limestone Post Investigate where we look into issues regarding Health, Housing, and the Environment that directly impact residents of Monroe County. We are looking into Indiana’s power grid – how it works, how it’s outdated and renewable alternatives the state could explore to transition into more sustainable forms of energy.

In today’s edition of Deep Dive, we explore how climate change impacts the power grid.

The U.S. electrical grid is a complicated network of wires that traverse the continent and connect with regional private operators who then transmit and distribute power. Some call it “a patchwork of operators with competing interests,” writes Rebecca Hill. Indiana’s electricity comes primarily from coal, natural gas, and a growing renewables market, but the transition to renewables is not without problems. | Photo by Benedict Jones

You can also read the article, “The Power Struggle in Indiana’s Changing Energy Landscape” in the Limestone Post written by Rebecca Hill and photos taken by Benedict Jones.
