If the university is really serious about saving money on energy, why not look into burning methane? "NO JOKE" It is continuously being generated at the sewage treatment facility south of the city near 71and Grove City. They use a small part of it to run their generator for sewage treatment, the rest is just burned off outside. They are burning it 24 hours a day! Couldn't it become a new fuel source for the McCracken power plant? Wouldn't that save money in the long run? Has anyone even bothered to look into it? Gee, if I were a consulting firm how much would OSU pay me for that suggestion regardless if they used it or not? How many state jobs could be saved if it did work?
