Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Uphill Battle with Biodiesel Manufacturing in the Winter. Nevertheless, we found the blockage and reassembly is on the agenda after the holidays! I was particularly proud of Sami Jo today as she got right in there and got dirty with me. Kara helped a lot, as her primary job was documentation and photography. Special thanks to my dad, Larry Russell Bryant. If it wasn't for his donation of large vice grips, channel locks, pipe grabber (? Hope you enjoy the slide show! The compet...

Friday, June 10, 2011. Camp Energy - Summer 2011. I believe it is safe to say that the first-ever "Camp Energy" was a SUCCESS! I always love it when the kids are learning and they don't realize it! I have two picture albums on the web that I will share soon! The list goes on! I think one of their favorite acitivities was "Energy Carnival"! The campers could earn energy "bucks" by playing energy-related games, then spending their bucks on prizes! Paul Blick and Doug Keaton (NEED), Andrea Curtis and Bill G...

Energy Technology Career Academy: Pour, pour, pour
http://lwcenergyacademy.blogspot.com/2012/01/pour-pour-pour.html
Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Pour, pour, pour. Today we spent a lot of time pouring the WVO that we have been collecting for over two months now into a large plastic container. Everyone took turns pouring! No one wanted to go eat fast food after school! Some the weather is not conducive to processing biodiesel, we are merely stocking up for the spring!

Tuesday, January 24, 2012. A "New" Partnership for the Academy - Newcomb Oil Company. I am so glad to share this awesome news with you all! Newcomb Oil (Five Star) has agreed to donate all of their waste vegetable oil to the ETCA for our production of biodiesel! We will start getting the oil from the two stores located in Columbia, and then as the demand grows, we have been given permission to get the oil from the stores in Taylor and Green counties! THANK YOU NEWCOMB OIL! Talk about a culture shock!
