b'HOW INL IS ADVANCINGRENEWABLE ENERGYBased on Podgorneys model, a deep reservoir could provide the aquatics center more than 1,000 gallons per minute of water at a temperature around 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Board members of the local nonprofit Teton Valley Aquatics said such geothermal energy could save the facility about $140,000 a year in utility costs. Teton Valley residents are fundraising for the aquatic centers well, which could confirm the INL report. As for Podgorney, he plans to continue helping with the project on a volunteer basis.
