Amid state's push for solar power, water-supply worries arise
Solar energy uses significant amounts of water, as much or more as coal, natural-gas or nuclear power plants do. Yet many of the proposed solar projects would operate in Arizona's driest corner, raising the question of supporting a renewable resource with one that is finite.

Has anyone filled a big water cooler bottle with pennies? If so how much was in there when full?

Not completely full, but I got it full enough that it was so heavy that I could barely carry it, and then the bottom of the bottle broke and dumped a couple of hundred dollars of pennies all over my feet.

By the way, a roll of pennies weighs about 4.5 oz. So $1 in pennies weighs 9oz, and $100 weigh about 56lbs.

Also a roll of pennies occupies about 2 cubic inches. There ar 231 cubic inches in a gallon. So a 5 gallon water cooler bottle (1155 cubic inches) can hold 577 rolls of pennies ($288.50) which will weigh about 162 lbs.

Hope you and the bottle can handle that....:)
