Description
Forgotten Roots – Electric Power, Profits, Democracy & A Profession A new book by Jack Casazza raises questions of vital importance to today’s national energy problems. Can good technical policies be established in a democracy where “profits now” is the driving force? Want to understand the problem? A review of what happened in the electric power industry that provides the lifeblood of our national economic system sheds much light. What can be learned from those who built the world’s best power system that the National Academy of Engineering called the “the greatest technical achievement of the 20th century”? Want to know what they said? This book explores the evolution and inter-relation of the electric power industry, government policy, our universities, and the electric power engineering profession that chartered its course. Early procedures are compared with present procedures that have produced skyrocketing prices and blackouts. It discusses possible steps for solving our problems in the future. Written by Jack Casazza who personally knew many of the industry leaders, government officials, and university faculty who were involved. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers has stated that, the American consumer owes more to Jack Casazza than to any other individual for the establishment of the national grid. The book can be obtained from book stores, over the internet and from e-book suppliers.
