As solar power makes up a bigger piece of our electricity puzzle, there’s a worry about a trade-off, especially in rural areas: If we build more solar farms, are we losing land for crops?
But University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists are asking the question: Why can’t we have both?
More than 20 buildings on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus are locked on Tuesday as crews work to address air conditioning issues caused by a broken chilled water line.
Meanwhile, university records are raising new questions about the state of UW-Madison’s infrastructure.
The UW-Madison campus experienced a significant break in a chilled water main supply line at one of the three heating and cooling plants that serve campus on June 17, according to an email sent to students, faculty and staff Friday. The break has caused campus buildings to have reduced cooling capacities this week, according to the email from UW Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration Robert Cramer.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison said it was closing 23 buildings to the public starting June 30, allowing only limited access to 11 others. It was relocating some summer classes after a broken water line at its cooling plant earlier in June severely reduced the ability to provide air conditioning across campus.
While Wisconsin residents are dealing with a heat emergency that’s sent the heat index over 100, the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s response has been complicated by a broken cooling system affecting dozens of buildings on campus.

It’s really important for a columnist to have a strong opinion on a big news event, but you deserve honesty more than some contrived take.
So here it goes: Truth is, I have no idea how to feel about UW-Madison interim chancellor Eric Wilcots apparently choosing Shawn Eichorst to be the school’s next athletic director.
Wisconsin is no stranger to Social Security. The modern Social Security system has Wisconsin roots: faculty at UW-Madison led the creation of the program nearly a century ago.
“As your water balance gets off, your electrolytes get kind of a little sideways, you start having cramps,” said Dr. Jeff Pothof, an emergency medicine doctor with UW Health. “If you’re sweating profusely and you’re feeling lightheaded when you stand up, and now you’ve got this cramp in your calf that just won’t go away, that’s your body telling you you are not doing OK. You’ve got to get out of this heat, get yourself hydrated before you get more ill.”
Children wearing sandals can suffer deep burns to their feet when they drop sparklers, according to a UW Health emergency medicine physician. Dr. Jeff Pothof said burns to fingers or the side of the head are also common injuries he sees.
Wisconsin families didn’t always dominate the dairy industry. According to UW-Madison, after other states outpaced the Badger State in growing wheat, farmers had to shift to dairy production and adopt entirely new practices — something dairy farmers are always looking to do.
