Most Hoosiers don’t realize Indiana actually has three different types of electric utilities—and the one you have isn’t something you can easily change.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Investor-Owned Utilities (for-profit, state-regulated)

• Municipal Utilities (owned by your city, community-focused)

• Electric Co-ops (member-owned, not-for-profit)

This system wasn’t randomly chosen—it was built decades ago based on geography, cost, and access. And today, it’s essentially locked in by design.

So can a city switch providers?

Technically yes… but it could cost tens to hundreds of millions of dollars and take years of legal battles, and 95% of the time these costs are a responsibility of the customer.

Bottom line:

Your electric bill isn’t just about usage—it’s shaped by history, policy, and infrastructure decisions made long before you.

➡️ In my next video, I’ll break down how federal policy is impacting your electric bill right now—and what that means for your wallet.

Young adults have always faced challenges getting launched into adulthood, and that transition has never been easy. What is different now is the presence of systemic barriers that are changing the outcome.

The policies being set now shift resources away from future growth and increase costs for the next generation. Gains built over generations are being used up, leaving younger Americans with higher costs, more risk, and fewer opportunities.

"We have to use the system to change the system. There’s really no other way around it.

The system isn’t broken, it just needs used.

A big reason it doesn’t get used is because people don’t have the time to keep up with everything, don’t fully understand the issues, and honestly, a lot of people don’t believe their vote even counts anymore.

This series of memes is an effort to help educate people on issues that are important and give a more understandable, non biased look at how things work so people can become more informed voters.

That gives us a better chance to elect people who truly have all of our interests in mind and help bring back a government that is truly by the people, of the people, and for the people."
