Finally, the steam flows into piping a^l over campus, where it is used for domestic heating, as well as running an electrical turbine. “With the electrical turbine, we will be able to generate some of our own electricity, almost enough to run the plant,” Rogers said. “Whatever electricity we produce is less electricity that we have to buy. This is cost effective.” The biogasification plant is expected to create long-lasting benefits for the university, USC students and the community. “There are a number of benefits,” Rogers said. “The biogasification plant will make USC a little greener and cleaner.” While the plant will save the university money, reduction cost in the beginning will be offset by payments for the cost of the plant. Rogers asserts that over time, as the plant is paid for and other fuel sources get more expensive, university costs will be kept 'lower because of the plant. “The cost of operating the school will not go up with this plant as it was previously expected to without it,” Rogers said. “That affects everyone. There will be less upward pressure on the cost of operating the university buildings. It will save us all money.” The biogasification plant will also serve as an educational asset to engineering students. “The university is practicing what it preaches in the .school of environment,” Rogers said. “(The biogasification plant) offers an opportunity for students in environment and engineering studies to have a learning experience in practical technology, as well as a real-life laboratory.” , The plant will have classroom space, what Rogers referred to as a “real-life show and-tell” Students will be able to perform temperature and pressure experiments to learn more about energy production and efficiency. Other neighborhood leaders have expressed concern about and raised questions regarding the facility, especially air-quality issues. Rogers explained that water will be generated out of a stack, which will sometimes be wispy or white. “The emission is almost entirely steam,” Rogers said. “There is very little solid emission. It is a different kind of emission, less harmful than those from previous techniques.” Before plans could go under way, DHEC required Johnson Controls to get a permit. Although the process required more information than normal, the permit was granted. Construction will begin in December or January. The building is expected to be completed within a year. “Were very excited about the opportunity to do this because it is going to benefit the community and university,” Rogers said. “We’re doing something new and will be ahead of everyone else in this particular area. It’s a good thing.” Comments on this story?

Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said Iran also would consider reducing trade with those countries that voted for Saturdays resolution, particularly India. “We were very surprised by India,” he said. The country is interested in importing Iranian natural gas through a pipeline that will pass through Pakistan. The International Atomic Energy Agency resolution put Iran on the verge of referral to the U.N. Security Council unless Tehran eases suspicions about its nuclear activities. The resolution told Iran to suspend all enrichment activities, including uranium conversion, to abandon construction of a heavy water nuclear reactor, and to grant access to certain locations and documents. Iran has rejected the resolution, saying it was politically motivated and without legal foundation. Asefi said Iran was asking its European negotiating partners — Britain, France and Germany — and the IAEA for two things: first, they should not insist (on the terms of the resolution). Second, they should correct it. If the other parties’ reaction is not along these lines, the Islamic Republic of Iran will take these measures,” Asefi said. He said Iran would cease to abide by the “voluntary measures” that it has been implementing as an expression of good will. “If the IAEA and European countries don’t make up for their error, we will cancel all voluntary measures we have taken,” he said. Effectively, this means that Iran would resume enrichment of uranium, which is currently suspended, and disregard the Additional Protocol to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty under which it grants IAEA inspectors the right to unfettered inspections of its nuclear facilities. Asefi warned that referral to the U.N. Security Council could have unforeseen consequences. The resolution set no date for referral, but said it would be considered later.
