CAPE SAFETY, INC. - NEW BLOOD

Danger Dogs Series – No. 7

by Richard Hughes

New Blood takes a far stricter look at how American politics in 2023 is affecting the national and international safety, health, and environmental decisions of the premier S. H. & E. firm, Cape Safety, Inc. and their California branch, Cliff Safety, Inc.

"People are ultimately the firm's engineering specialty," says a staff member of the barely fictional consulting firm. What's really going on in the world? They travel internationally from their Woods Hole, MA, or San Francisco, CA, headquarters to engage in forward-thinking problem-solving at many headline crises of 2023. From East Palestine, Ohio; to Guanabara Bay, Brazil; to the badly exploited African miners in the hidden cobalt mines of the Congo, so we can get the rare earth mineral to power our cell phones; to Divest Food in Massachusetts; to shipbreaking yards in Turkey; to airline bottlenecks with the DOT in Washington, D.C.; to Hanford Atomic Energy in Washington State; even browbeaten Indian welders and pipefitters in Mississippi; to name just a few spots visited by our old friends (and some New Blood, too).

It's not all bad news! Learn about progress in autism; Rhode Island gun control; harvesting the heat off of computers and recycling it; environmentalists' plan to reduce companies' use of plastics; finally, barnacles can be eliminated by getting them to kick away from ships' hulls; nanotechnologies quickly suppress vapor formation, reducing confined space entry safe operation procedures; renewable energy from garbage; innovative lifeboats; Africa's tectonic plates are shifting and creating a new sea, cutting the continent into two.

Contemporary history in a fun format. A uniquely inspirational genre to keep up with current events in a fun way.
