Gaslit: The Power of Story | Episode 10

In Episode 10 of Gaslit, we sit down with members of Direct Action Against CenterPoint Energy to talk about what happens when regular people are forced to become experts—because the system fails to explain itself and fails to protect them.

This episode explores:
• Why utility bills in southern Indiana spiked suddenly and dramatically
• How a community Facebook group grew into a hub for education and support
• The real human cost of shutoffs, evictions, and financial stress
• Why assistance programs are often inaccessible when people need them most
• The connection between legislation, regulation, and rising utility costs
• Growing fears around data centers and long-term infrastructure expansion
• Why silence benefits corporations—and visibility protects people

This is a conversation about dignity, survival, and what happens when communities refuse to accept confusion and harm as normal.
