Omega

Continued denials of impending danger to what government and industry regard as an inanimate planet and the witches see clearly as the endangered body of our beloved mother mean the plot could be culled from today's scientific newspaper. In 1980, Omega was recent future science fiction, and, although the setting is now, the premise still holds. Scientists have learned to tap the power of the earth's electro-magnetic field - put 150 kilowatts of power into two electrodes on opposite sides of the globe, and get 4015 megawatts. They think the world's energy problems are over! Well, not quite...The conflict is between the forces of technology and greed and the gentle men and women who have respect for the land, are in touch with nature, and practice the craft of the wise - witchcraft. This is a book with a lesson: there is no time like the present to start healing the great mother. And this is the kind of book that can win people to the cause of so doing.
