AI wakes up the sleepy US power sector

Bethlehem Steel was the lifeblood of Pennsylvanian town's economy, and a major contributor to American manufacturing during the 20th century. But when the local plant closed in the 1990s and the company went bankrupt in the early 2000s, Bethlehem’s economy didn’t crater. It pivoted to other industries such as transportation and healthcare. 

Host Sonja Hutson takes us through the rise and fall of Bethlehem Steel and introduces us to steelworker-turned-nurse, Bill Leiner. He’s a living example of how an economy can adapt and rebuild after a major disruption. 

Listen to all episodes of The Bethlehem Project here. 

The Bethlehem Project is hosted and produced by Sonja Hutson and edited by Marc Filippino. This episode was mixed by Breen Turner. Our executive producer is Topher Forhecz. The FT’s global head of audio is Flo Phillips. Special thanks to Pierre Nicholson.
