State Legislature Provides Funding for Ball State Geothermal Project

摘要

Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, received $30 million from the state for its stalemated geothermal project, billed as the nation's largest. As reported by The Daily, Ball State's student newspaper, the last portion of the project ended on the south side of campus where drilling of 1800 boreholes stopped after funding ran out. James Lowe, PE, director of engineering and operations at Ball State, said drilling the remaining 1200 boreholes is just one of a few of his priorities.
