The good news: it's costing us less (we've converted a number of schools from oil to natural gas, and it's saving money. There's a bunch of stimulus money headed to even more boiler rooms across the city, too, so that should continue to help).
The bad news: I've got a sneaking suspicion that we aren't being nearly as bold and forward-looking as we need to on this one. We've done some work on South High, for example, but it still heats with electricity (flinch). Does it take heat sinks, wind towers, biofuel...? We really need to be thinking about this one. I wish we'd had some "shovel ready" projects along this line, rather than just converting the boilers.
