  1. “If you go all the way back 20 years ago, electric rates in Indiana were the fifth-lowest in the nation. We’re now 32nd and so, you know, to me, this is basic supply and demand,”

    How many electric utilities were privatized during that time?

  2. Natural gas is an environmental issue, but coal is a whole public health issue. We need to get rid of the latter ASAP. Anything potentially saved in up-front electricity costs will be offset by healthcare costs.
