When you flip on a light or charge your phone, you’re pulling power from a recipe you didn’t choose — a shifting mix of gas, coal, wind, solar, nuclear, and hydro.
In our first episode of The Deep Dive, we break down America’s energy mix in plain language: what each source brings to the grid, what tradeoffs come with it, and why the balance matters for your bills, your health, and the climate’s future.
Whether you’re energy-curious, climate-conscious, or just want to know why your electricity bill looks the way it does, this episode — a companion to our original explainer on America’s Energy Mix — gives you the tools to see the invisible system that shapes everyday life.
