Progressives claimed they knew how to solve homelessness, inequality, and crime. But in cities they control, progressives made those problems worse.

Michael explains much of complexity behind the homeless issue and why it seems to have hit a dead end in progress to end it. The basic concept of who the victim is and who the enemy is is so distorted by the progressive left.

Grid insiders know how fragile the grid is becoming. Unfortunately, they have no incentive to solve the problem because near-misses increase their profits. Meredith Angwin describes how closed meetings, arcane auction rules, and five-minute planning horizons will topple the reliability of our electric grid. Shorting the Grid shines light on the vulnerabilities of our grid, and includes suggestions for making the grid more dependable.

As a retired Controls engineer from the now decommissioned San Onofre Nuclear Generating station I so much appreciate Meredith’s book. It provided a great deal of insight to much of the seemingly idiotic moves to shutdown nuclear energy. I believe nuclear power will come back with a vengeance in the coming years. The world has no choice.
