Episode: Steel Mills must adopt cleaner technologies to stay competitive, Gary environmentalist says
Description: Northwest Indiana is home to three of the country’s largest steel plants.
The area produces more steel than any other region in the United States.

Weinberg recently authored a report called the Future of Steelmaking in Northwest Indiana for GARD.
