Green Energy, Brown Water
Thursday, May 22nd
Grabbed coffee with Rachel this morning then headed to my field trip at the Atlantic City wastewater treatment plant, which is powered by 5 1.5-MW turbines. It was very interesting, very smelly, and a good bit of fun, too. Although we were there to see the turbines, the main chunk of the tour was the wastewater treatment aspects -- like scenes straight from "Dirty Jobs" -- activated sludge being aerated in a rapidly splashing pool of brown. There were also solar panels on site. I didn't learn a ton, but overall it was a good trip, and Shawn and I got to wear hard hats :) Went to Iron Hill to celebrate Bobby and Steph's engagement when we got back before chilling with Apt 3 chicas for a bit.
