GEOTHERMAL POWER @ OIT

For decades, the Oregon Institute of Technology has drawn from the earth to warm its classrooms, heat its swimming pool and melt snow from its sidewalks. Now the rumble of heavy equipment and the installation of a 150-foot-tall drilling tower signal the school's leap toward energy self-sufficiency. Within a year, OIT will become the first campus in the world powered entirely by its own renewable geothermal source. The massive drilling rig will punch into a geological fracture almost a mile below ground, tapping 300-degree water to feed a 1.5-megawatt electrical plant. The $4.5 million high-heat plant will produce enough energy to power the entire Klamath Falls campus -- and then some. The school already saves about $1 million annually in heating costs and plans to make about $200,000 by selling geothermal heat.

In the Newspaper!

We were the only ones at the Corn Maze here in Klamath Falls, and the journalist and photogragher just happened to show up.

This was one of the coolest things there. It was an 8' X 8' box full of dryed corn kernels.

And of course you have to jump in......

Me too!
