Sometimes Fiction is the Best Way to Tell the Truth

"Kilowatt looks the looming electrical energy crisis in the eye and doesn't blink. Neither will you once you read this compelling book. McHugh has spun an inspiring and entertaining tale about how ordinary working people can stand up to powerful corporate interests."

Kilowatt by Joe McHugh
Jim Hightower
Nationally syndicated radio commentator and author of Thieves In High Places.
Kilowatt
a modern-day fable
about the energy industry,
public radio, and the nature of time
.

“Kilowatt is a great book, well written, and a real page-turner. McHugh has crafted a 21st century version of ‘Woodstein’ meets The China Syndrome, only this time the unlikely heroes are from small town public radio doing shoe-leather reporting and in battle with some truly nasty corporate villains.”
Jeffrey A. Dvorkin - director, Committee of Concerned Journalists
and former head of news for National Public Radio

“Hurray for muckrakers! Kilowatt is a parable and cautionary tale about the nature of power for all of us who are still looking for the heart of America.”
Bill Harley - Grammy Award-winning storyteller, playwright, and songwriter

“If you think you don’t have time to read this book, then this book is just for you.”
Bill Radke - host of public radio’s Weekend America
