Taggart Engineering
Sep. 05, 2025 12:00 p.m.
William M. Taggart IV has spent over 35 years working on major projects in deepwater oil/gas, shale oil, copper mining, and refineries. He is recognized as a subject matter expert on systems that control industrial applications and protect personnel, equipment, and the environment from those industrial processes. He took those skills and wrote "Fixing America: An Engineer's Solution to our Social, Cultural, and Political Problems". A book that Kirkus Reviews called "A timely, level-headed analysis of America's most polarizing political issues." This book takes America's problems and analyzes them with a nonpartisan, factual, data-driven approach to reach simple solutions that can be implemented. The book invites a discussion of the issues that America is grappling with. |
