When Consumers Power’s plan to build a nuclear power plant in Midland, Michigan, was announced in 1967, it promised to free Michigan residents from expensive, dirty, coal-fired electricity and to keep Dow Chemical operating in the state. But before the plan could be completed, the facility was called an engineering nightmare, a financial disaster, a construction boondoggle, a political headache, and a regulatory muddle. Most locals had welcomed nuclear power eagerly. Why, after almost twenty years and billions of dollars, did this promise of a high-tech, coal-free, prosperous future fail? And what lessons does its failure offer today as Americans try to develop a clean energy economy based on renewable power? To answer these questions, energy consultant and author LeRoy Smith carefully traces the design and construction decisions made by Consumers Power, including its choice of reactor and its hiring of the Bechtel Corporation to manage the project. He also details the rapidly changing regulatory requirements and growing public concern about the environmental risks of nuclear power generation. An examination of both the challenges and importance of renewable energy, this book will be of value to anyone interested in grappling with the complexities of our ongoing efforts to eliminate fossil fuels in favor of clean renewable energy.

There are many stories about superheroes or beings with powers. In this day and age, they are a dime a dozen, but few have a history that reaches back to the days of the Roman Empire. Society, culture, and history are molded by Meta-humans, human beings with supernatural powers. Countries that became extinct and disappeared exist today, while others never formed. In modern times you have three types of heroes. The first is those sponsored by corporations acting like movie and comic book heroes. The second are police and army sponsored by the government. The third are renegades, who are vigilantes that refuse to be controlled. Villains are also more nuanced, who see crimes as a business, those who want power, and those who want the world to burn.Join Samson, the younger brother of Omari, in his journey from being a rookie hero against rival companies, arrogant senior heroes, biased media, backstabbing politicians, as well villains who see him as a threat in a world where everyone wants to be the best at something. Even heroes are affected by this mentally-especially those who choose to go professional. When worldwide fame, glory, and wealth are at your fingertips, thousands of others also want it and will take you down to get it. Despite all the obstacles, Samson has proven that he can take anything thrown at him. But how long before he runs into an obstacle he cannot surpass?
