Overload Detail:

Overload! A massive power failure at a giant California utility plunges a heavily populated are into darkness. 

For Nim Goldman, a top executive of Golden State Power, this is only a preview of the electrical famine ahead.  Unless a complacent, power-guzzling public is restrained and new generating plants are built, blackouts could become an everyday occurrence.

Controversy rages as dedicated environmentalists, a determined reporter and a crazed, bomb-carrying terrorist try to thwart Goldman's plans.  With his career in jeopardy and his marriage strained, he desperately seeks a solution to this demanding problem.  Its urgency is dramatized for him when he meets a beautiful and sensitive woman whose every breath depends on life-sustaining electrical equipment.

A fascinating story -one that lays bare the catastrophic potentials that abound in our energy crisis.
