Inside Energy

Inside Energy is powerful reporting about what powers America. It is a collaborative journalism initiative among public media with roots in Colorado, Wyoming and North Dakota and growing to include other states. Inside Energy is distinctive multi-platform storytelling with a unique point of view: the spot where people and power intersect, and how that intersection impacts neighbors, communities, regions and the country at large. Moving beyond polarized arguments and emotional debates, Inside Energy will explore how energy is made, how energy moves across communities, and how energy is consumed - making, moving, using energy. There are tradeoffs, opportunities and very human consequences of energy policy, production, use and innovation. Inside Energy will explain the national, regional and local significance of energy issues with particular emphasis on where people and power intersect. Inside Energy was launched with a two-year, $1.4 million startup grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. IE pursues ongoing and sustaining partnership funding through individuals, foundations, corporations, businesses and organizations that share an interest in the national and local energy discussion.
