Two years after a University of Oklahoma geothermal project designed to provide heat for schools in Tuttle, a similar project is providing heat for a new multi-million dollar school near Fort Worth, Texas.
The $271 million Eagle Mount High School built in Tarrant County is run on geothermal energy. It involves more than 4,000 wells pumping water from a large pond to not only heat but cool the classrooms in the new school.
Oklahoma launches a similar geothermal project two years ago with the help of a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. The new geothermal energy and heat production came from abandoned oil and gas wells.
