Wind Energy Development: Environmental Impact and Mitigation

Nebraska’s power is changing. Powering Nebraska explores how electricity is generated across the state—wind, solar, coal, nuclear, hydro, and emerging tech—and what it means for our future. Each episode offers data-driven, nonpartisan analysis on the environmental, economic, and policy impacts of energy in Nebraska. This podcast is independently produced with no financial ties to utilities, industry groups, or advocacy organizations.
