It's fall and that means it's College Recruitment Time! We couldn't be more excited. In a few days, we're going on the road to meet some of the engineering leaders of tomorrow. We really enjoy meeting engineering students, sharing information about our internships, and listening to them share what they are looking for in a post-college career. We've met many great people whom we've hired as a result of these events. Who knows, maybe soon you could be one of them! Click here to view our current openings.

Time for a 21st Century Grid
If we, as a nation, are to have true energy security and facilitate a more robust economy which supports job growth, then we must get serious about taking the steps necessary to remove the roadblocks currently preventing increased electric transmission. So argues Heath Knakmuhs, Senior Policy Director at the US Chamber's Institute for 21st Century Energy.

Truth is stranger than fiction...
It's called "Graphene," but folks often refer to it as "atomic chicken wire." As Doug Peeples notes in his recent article, "It has a breaking strength 200 times stronger than steel, but it's so thin that three million sheets would give you a stack one millimeter thick." Will it be a smart grid wonder? Only time will tell. In the meantime, it's certainly interesting to keep an eye on.

Getting excited about wind
Evel Knievel in one of his many breathtaking stunts. |
I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair. So said famed dare-devil, Evel Knievel.
He's not the only one.
He's not the only one.
Folks in Holland, Michigan, are also getting excited about the wind these days. They have good reason to. They've asked Commonwealth to analyze the cost and effect of interconnecting a wind farm in Allegan County to BPW's electrical transmission system.
