  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Electricity Learn More About Geothermal Energy
    Geothermal energy is reliable, abundant, and efficient. Project Drawdown states that public investment will play a crucial role in its expansion. In what ways (i.e. with money, time, advocacy) can you invest in geothermal energy?

    Unfortunately, currently, geothermal is not an option for us (just installed a gas furnace a couple of years ago). However, it is something we can discuss and have people who are considering a new furnace/ac or building, especially if they plan to stay for 10 years. We have a friend who has a geothermal system in their home.
