Geothermal needs to be mandated across the country.

It doesn't work everywhere, at least not economically at the moment.

Very promising stuff going on with geothermal! Just hoping those fancy new drills pan out.

Already been stated but geothermal doesn’t work most places. My cousin started a geothermal company and found that out the hard way.

Do you mean ground source heat pumps or real geothermal?

Both are more effective than traditional fuel sources and should be used as a primary source. The amount of energy savings in the summer would be huge

Yeah I built my house and put in a ground source heat pump. Ten years later I added solar and now we produce as much as we use. It's pretty outstanding and very comfortable. Definitely pays for itself.
There is some company that says they have a new and better drilling technology and they claim they can dig deep enough to put a real geothermal plant anywhere.

I feel like people don't talk enough about geothermal, but isn't a giant hole in the ground pretty bad for the environment?
