Last week, we toured the progress inside our $170 million
Renewable Energy Facility. Here are some of the latest photos.
The building houses equipment that will generate 25% of the plant's electricity while conserving resources and reducing pollution. It is scheduled to go online this summer.

| One
of three fluidized-bed incinerators, each one about 60 feet tall.
They're called fluidized beds because heated sand blows around inside
the base like a liquid. The incinerators burn solid waste known as biosolids. |
 |
| Overcast today, but in the sun, the front of this building gleams and it can be seen from nearby I-77. |
 |
| Conduit above the first floor of the facility. |
 |
| Our own Mike Uva records an interview with Construction Manager Tom Vasel. |
 |
| A view from the second floor. |
 |
| Typical safety signage on much of the equipment being installed throughout the building. |
 |
| Another view from the second floor. |
 |
| A view of Mike interviewing Tom, as seen through one of the computer towers in a control room. |
 |
| Each of the three incinerators is lined with 130 tons of this brick. Every brick is numbered to ensure it is placed properly. |
 |
| Dials and switches. A very retro look inside a new-technology facility. |
 |
| Two hearts, one love: Clean water. |
