Stimulus: DOE grant used to install geothermal system at Colorado capitol

Gov. Bill Ritter today praised a project that will provide geothermal heating and cooling for the State Capitol building with the help of a U.S. Department of Energy Recovery Act grant. Colorado’s Capitol, which opened in 1894, will be among the first in the nation to benefit from a geothermal system.

The DOE grant will provide $4.6 million for an open-loop geothermal system that will save the state an estimated $95,000 in heating and cooling costs in the first year alone.
