Description

Like much of rural Alaska, the town of Nome relies heavily on imported fuels for heating and power. The cost of heating oil here is well over $7/gallon. That's what incentivizes a lot of Alaska communities to pursue new energy technologies, often well before they are part of the mainstream. 

 

Closing the Gap is hosted by Gwen Holdmann and produced by Jennifer Pemberton. Music is from Blue Dot Sessions.
