A typical day in the life of a subterranean miner
|
10.9.2010 |
The Guardian -- Front Page |
| The Guardian's Jonathan Franklin, in a unique despatch, documents a day in the subterranean life of the 33 miners trapped 700 metres below the Chilean desert
Day in the San José mine begins at 7.30am, when a makeshift lighting rig powered by truck batteries and a portable generator flickers into life, casting a weak light on the refuge where the men have now spent 35 days.
In the hours after the shaft was sealed the miners used truck headlights to light their way, but in the following days, electrician Edison Pena wired up a series of lamps which provide between eight and 12 hours of light to provide a semblance of day and night.
"In those first few days, he took care of all the illumination down there, they had some equipment in there. ... |

East Millcreek church goes solar
|
8.9.2010 |
Salt Lake Tribune |
| By John Keahey The Salt Lake Tribune
Updated Sep 7, 2010 08:53PM MDT
It took $105,000 in grants and contributions to install 99 3-by-5-foot electricty-generating solar panels across the roof of a two-story education building at the Christ United Methodist Church. Estimated annual savings for the East Millcreek congregation that spearheaded the project: $3,000.
