"Probably none of this should have impressed me," Cowan says. But it has. Although the book is no defense of his now-dead parents, it is tinged with their memories. If anything comes out of all this, its that Cowan doesn't really care about the structure of the network system. He'd rather gossip in gory detail about the promotional practices...
...maintenance. Thus the NRC's order means an additional loss of only four nuclear plants-California's Rancho Seco and Duke Power's three Oconee reactors in South Carolina-out of 72 nuclear plants licensed to operate across the U.S., including five on the East Coast temporarily shut for earthquake safety studies. All together, nuclear reactors produce about 14% of the nation's electricity...
Within 14 hours of the raid on Nahariya, Israeli gunboats began a four-day barrage of Palestine Liberation Organization bases along the coast, and Israeli warplanes attacked Palestinian artillery emplacements north of the Litani River.

...federal funding and goes through, it would be eight times larger than the biggest existing photovoltaic system. Up to now, such systems have generally been confined to remote and inaccessible locations where the costs of providing conventional power are prohibitive. For example, in California solar cells generate energy for Coast Guard buoys, rural water pumps, VHF telecommunications relay towers, automatic weather stations and even an Air Force radar station. In addition, Kansas oil wells use solar electricity to inhibit the rusting of metal; a remote Arizona Indian reservation gets its power from cells, and even the Saudi Arabian government plans...
