And the energy keeps on rolling;

Hello again fellow blog followers! Savanna Booth reporting with a brief update on what is happening in the world of alternative energy.

As the days get hotter, the skies get bluer, and our students get busier. All of our projects are making way and getting closer and closer to their end. Every day is a new challenge for the students, making the projects a little more interesting. And with the school year ending in less than two months, deadlines are starting to pick up!



Today, the Solar Panel girls, Bianca Almero, Victoria Albury, and Danielle Meriscal, acquired, not only their panels, but the administrators golf cart. As you recall, the girls are planning on converting the golf cart to solar energy, using the panel they will attach to the roof. This is going to be a tedious project so be sure to check in frequently on updates!





Even during this time of summer heat, our students are not afraid to get down and dirty! Joey Mercurio, Otto Irwin, and John Leonard are digging holes and securing rods for our biodiesel tank to be tied down. A pretty good project to take on, especially with hurricane season right around the corner. Each hole takes 4 - 6 bags of concrete, and each bag is 60 pounds. That is 240 - 360 pounds of concrete this guys are pouring into each hole. Such hardworking men!



Even I was able to get down and dirty with the guys and mix concrete!
