In this March 10, 2010 photo, dawn breaks on downtown Klamath Falls, Ore.,  to reveal that sidewalks heated by geothermal energy have stayed clear while a park bench, trash receptacle and the street are dusted with snow. A brew pub, greenhouses, and college classrooms all use heat from volcanic rocks in this timber and ranching town.
