The right sunset can make any photo look good, even this steamy industrial scene from a coal fired power plant on the UAF campus. The Atkinson heat and power plant was built back in 1964, and provides some of the heating and all the electricity for the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus; including classrooms, offices, housing, and research labs. The aging boilers have become an area of concern for university organizers. If they were to fail in winter, our local utility GVEA would not be able to supply enough power and heat to the campus facilities, and lectures for UAF students would become a very cold experience. A 250 million dollar upgrade is scheduled to break ground this spring, with a projected completion date of 2018. Let's hope the boilers hold out until then. This is what 3PM looks like in Fairbanks by-the-way.
