Numbers in the wire and cable industry are, nearly always, big. The investments, company buy outs, length of cables on the ocean floor, they are all big numbers. And it seems that this theme continues in the June issue of wiredInUSA with the first two stories providing some startling numbers to digest. Our lead story is from global giant Nexans which has committed $85m for its extra high voltage cable plant in South Carolina. And it was a serious building project for the new vertical continuous vulcanization tower with trucks working around the clock seven days a week for 20 days to pour 6,000m 3 of concrete! You can read the full story on page 9. Hot on the heels is news that California's newest power plant has gone online – three months ahead of schedule. The 800MW CPV Sentinel Energy project, near Palm Springs, has already started flowing electricity to 640,000 homes in Southern California's Edison service territory. All the details are on page 10. But there is a lot more to read the further you get into the magazine. Enjoy! David Bell Editor
