The problems contributing to the crisis: shortage of fossil fuels and residents’ reluctance to have electric generating station in their backyard. Westinghouse Electric Company, coupled with Offshore Power Systems, proved the crisis could be averted, the problems were not insurmountable. Their solution for anyone seeking an alternative fuel source and/or not wanting generating stations within sight: nuclear power plants offshore.
