Early Morning Near Schahfer Generating Station - Wheatfield, Indiana - Novemeber 2022

Sandhill Cranes dominate the sky near and far as a massive coal plant looms in the distance.

2 of the 4 coal fired units were retired in 2021 (half of it's capacity) with the remaining 2 units scheduled to be retired sometime in 2025.

NIPSCO, the utility company responsible for this plant, has begun replacing the lost energy production with large fields of solar panels (one is being started on the right in this photo), but due to a "solar market crisis", the conversion has slowed considerably (hence the 2025 target year instead of sooner).

According to a 2016 Center for Public Integrity/USA Today/Weather Channel investigation, the Schahfer Generating Station was determined to be one of the nation's 22 “Super Polluters” -- power plants and industrial facilities that emit the most toxic pollution and greenhouse gases in the country. Schahfer emitted 8.8 million tons of greenhouse gases into the air in 2014 and more than 1.6 million pounds of toxic chemicals.
