Speaking of wasting electricity...
Did anyone ever stop to think that, with construction of the new high school, this is a prime opportunity to incorporate some alternative energy measures (compact wind turbines or solar arrays, natural lighting, etc) and maybe even have the govt. foot the bill with all of these green energy initiatives? Hell, even if the govt didn't help with the green construction tab, it is just smarter in the long run. If Greensburg, Kansas can go green, why can't we?
