Pumped storage hydropower generates energy by passing water through a turbine as it moves from a higher reservoir to a lower one.

The median pay for wind turbine workers in the U.S. last year was about $56,000 a year, for solar panel installers it was $46,000. But Hoosiers won’t be able to access these jobs without training.

Much like refinancing a home, securitization allows customers to pay off the remaining costs of coal plants over a longer period of time at a lower rate -- which is supposed to lower their energy bills and make the transition to renewable energy easier.

While the rapid transition to renewable energy may save utility customers money in the long run, it can lead to higher energy bills in the short term.

The bill is based off of a similar law in Michigan. Every year electric utilities would have to show how they plan to provide reliable energy to their customers for the next three years.

Indiana lawmakers plan to introduce legislation that would make it easier for renewable energy companies to invest in Indiana.

When a coal plant shuts down, the loss of jobs and tax revenue can be devastating for the towns that host them. The state is grappling with how to help workers and local governments in Indiana with that transition.

While the rapid transition to renewable energy may save utility customers money in the long run, it can lead to higher energy bills in the short term.

Representatives from economic development organizations say if Indiana wants to attract certain businesses, the state will have to help them go green.

More than a dozen environmental groups say distributed energy -- smaller, localized energy sources and storage like rooftop solar -- need to be a part of the state's energy plan.
