A leader in renewable energy studies, OIT has consistently expanded its geothermal capabilities. By combining geothermal technology with solar power, building improvements and energy reduction initiatives, OIT is looking to eliminate all carbon pollution by 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The funding is part of the Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Act and must still pass the full Senate, be merged with a companion bill from the House, and be signed by the President before it becomes law and the funds become available.<\/p>\n<p>Un archivo MP3 de los comentarios del Senador Merkley est\u00e1 disponible para descargar:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/imo\/media\/audio\/OIT.mp3\/\">http:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/audio\/OIT.mp3<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portland, OR &ndash;
