Meet Michael Skelly, the man boldly harnessing wind energy that could power Americas future and break its fossil fuel dependence in this essential, compelling look into the future of the nations power grid (Bryan Burrough, author of The Big Rich).The United States is in the midst of an energy transition. We have fallen out of love with dirty fossil fuels and want to embrace renewable energy sources like wind and solar. A transition from a North American power grid that is powered mostly by fossil fuels to one that is predominantly clean is feasible, but it would require a massive building spreewind turbines, solar panels, wires, and billions of dollars would be needed.Enter Michael Skelly, an infrastructure builder who began working on wind energy in 2000 when many considered the industry a joke. Eight years later, Skelly helped build the second largest wind power company in the United Statesand sold it for $2 billion. Wind energy was no longer funnyit was well on its way to powering more than 6% of electricity in the United States.Awardwinning journalist, Russel Gold tells Skellys story, which in many ways is the story of our nations evolving relationship with renewable energy. Gold illustrates how Skellys company, Clean Line Energy, conceived the idea for a new power grid that would allow sunlight where abundant to light up homes in the cloudy states thousands of miles away, and take wind from the Great Plains to keep air conditioners running in Atlanta. Thrilling, provocative, and important, Superpower is a fascinating look at Americas future.
