Senator Lugar Congratulates Ball State University on Dedication of Geothermal Project
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar today congratulated Ball State University on the dedication of the university’s geothermal project. Lugar, who was casting votes in the United States Senate, sent a taped greeting to be played at the dedication ceremony.
“On May 9, 2009, when we drilled the first hole of this project, I predicted the system would demonstrate to the world that large-scale, district geothermal heating and cooling is feasible. That vision has come to fruition. Other universities, municipalities, and businesses have noticed this project’s success.
“I firmly believe that we must take every step toward energy independence to increase our national security. The success of Ball State’s geothermal system is an important stride in that direction.
“I congratulate Ball State on the dedication of its geothermal project. I look forward to seeing what innovations this visionary university will develop in the future.”
