I'm at a stopping point on the last chapter I will write for awhile, this one on Wyoming coal. While I wasn't able to visit a coal mine, with John McPhee's smart words ringing in my ear I realized I could write about Powder River Basin strip mines, which I've seen many times. Who needs a stinkin' tour?
All of my chapters are either in the hands of readers or have been read and returned to me. I'll give the coal chapter over in a few days to Paul Wolff, in Tennessee, who knows from coal. Thanks also to writer/reader friends Laurie Milford, Jeffe Kennedy, RoseMarie London, Bill Markley, Doug Couch, John Freeman and the various folks who work for the power companies who've read for the technical details. I couldn't have gotten this far without you. And big thanks to Judith Keeling at Texas Tech University Press. She has given me an extension on my chapter about tidal energy. I could not arrange my trip to Maine to see the work being done there because it is still a work in progress. I have until the end of May to submit that last chapter. Everything else is due March 1 and I've no doubt I can get it all together by then. Scary!
