I can’t tell my readers anything about geothermal heating and cooling. Those who work in that segment of drilling and contracting know how to get installations done. They know geothermal works off the Earth’s constant, natural temperature. They know their systems have a long lifespan. They know ground source heat pumps win on efficiency.
A lot of contractors might opposed government subsidies on principle, but drillers in geothermal could benefit from a little more federal attention to that sector.
An "enhanced geothermal system" recently went on line near Reno, Nev., that uses directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing to increase permeability of hot rocks.
Mr. President, thank you for re-affirming your commitment to a cleaner environment and healthy future for our children through action on climate change. While I share your goals and respect your intentions, I do not envy the challenges you face in such a complicated issue.
