FBI and CDC work with local Sheriff’s departments to solve crimes involved with sabotage, including bioterrorism in the novel: Green Power. After the closing of Rancho Seco Nuclear Power Plant, Dirk Hendrickson loses his job as head of security. He blames Dr. Ray Pendleton who had led a demonstration against the nuclear plant. When Ray sets up methane digesters on Lodi dairies, Dirk and his fellow Delta Valley militiamen do everything in their power to destroy the professor’s projects. When a deadly epidemic breaks out, Dr. Pendleton’s alternate energy source is implicated as the cause.
Linda McCord, a lab tech at the hospital where the infected patients are admitted, works with the professor to help prove that his project is not the cause of the epidemic. The CDC gets involved and calls in the FBI to investigate a possible act of bioterrorism. The novel takes a dramatic turn when Ray comes down with a disease caused by the same species of methanogenic bacterium involved in his project.

Dairy farms are responsible for one third of methane gas produced indirectly by humans. Methane has 20 times the global warming potential than carbon dioxide. As stewards of our environment we must either eliminate or reduce the release of this greenhouse gas. We can do this by using methane digesters to capture the methane and use it to fire up generators to produce electricity. This is exactly what my protagonist does in the action filled thriller - Green Power. Check this novel out on amazon.com or go to my website at: http://www.freewebs.com/vrooman.
