The movement to revamp energy technology and reduce carbon emissions is gaining ground across the country and Knox County is no exception. The current county budget includes a $40 million dollar spending measure to improve the energy efficiency of county facilities. In the case of the Knox County Detention Facility, part of that funding is going to a project going online this month: The largest domestic solar hot water system in the country.
