75 colored pencil drawings by Mike Rogers recently exhibited at the impressive Parker’s Box Gallery in Williamsburg. The work documented all of the nuclear power plants in various locations throughout the United States. An ambitious obsession with primary color coded repetition, depicting complex landscapes in simplistic Christmas Card fashion. The individual pieces are small, delicate, romantic, yet the overwhelming numbers stagger. The controversial subject, handled in a manner few have attempted, provided quite a challenge.

Interesting idea – these plants are in a number of different settings around the country. Some have the hyperbolic cooling towers pictured, some do not.
For an entertaining inside look at how US nuclear plants operate from someone who does it every day, see my free novel “Rad Decision”. The plant involved and the climatic event bear some simularities to Fukushima. Free online, no advertisements or sponsors – just google the title or go to my homepage. Written for the lay person.
