<p>So i know that the kids at Oberlin have an unprecedented amount of control over what actually goes on at the school, but i heard from a friend that the students at Oberlin petitioned to make the school entirely solar powered by 2008 and got their way. I found this kinda hard to believe, but it would be amazing if it were true....so does anyone here have the scoop on this?</p>
<p>Sorry, but that's just not technologically possible...</p>
<p>yeah thats why i found it so hard to believe...</p>
<p>During the year, a large PV array was installed over a parking lot near the Environmental Studies Center. Together with the PV array on the roof of the building, it's one of the largest solar power installations in the state of Ohio. Still not enough to power the college, but it's a good start.</p>
