Alaska Looks to Renewable Energy for the Future - Chena Hot Springs’ Geothermal Plant Prime Example (KTVA)

Karl is the proud creator of a geothermal power plant at Chena Hot Springs, just outside of Fairbanks. "Behind us are the O.R.C's: organic rank and cycle," said Karl, pointing to three giant turbines that power a hydroponic greenhouse, the hot springs and 44 buildings that make up the resort. "What we are doing is taking 165 degree water and making history. First time in the history of man." VIDEO: 3:02 Minutes.
