Why your electric bill keeps going up—and who’s really to blame?

Hoosiers are paying more than ever for electricity. And it’s not because residential consumers are using more power. It’s because the people in charge are making energy decisions that benefit fossil fuel companies and big tech companies, not working families.

Let’s be clear from the jump. Coal is inefficient and unreliable. It’s on its way out for a reason—it’s expensive to maintain and dirty to operate.

New gas plants sound like an easy solution, but they cost billions to build, and those costs get passed along to you.

And nuclear energy? That’s a futuristic pipe dream. There are no small nuclear reactors operating in this country, and it could be a decade or more before any of them generate a single watt of power. But you’re being asked to invest in them right now.

Instead of leaning into cheaper, proven solutions, Gov. Braun is giving utilities a blank check to “build, build, build”—without a plan and without asking who’s stuck with the bill.

Spoiler: it’s you.
