Isnt it important to build a facility to support UWs building plans immediately?
In view of the States budget crisis it is unlikely that all current building plans will proceed on schedule. Also, as stated earlier, only chilled water is of concern in the near term. This is an opportunity to pause for a thorough and impartial review of campus utility needs. On January 30, 2003, Representative Black became the first public official to request a full re-evaluation of campus needs and to seek an environmentally and fiscally responsible solution to meet those needs. To facilitate that process he and State Senator Risser are submitting legislation to repeal the MGE budget provision described above. UW officials have said that they fear that stem cell lines will die if reliable power is not available. Load management of utilities and backup facilities are normally designed to keep critical facilities running, at the cost of temperature fluctuations or brownouts in less critical facilities like gyms or classrooms. The death of a stem cell line is therefore far more likely
