"If 70% of buildings in the US adopted geothermal heat pumps, that has the potential to?save the energy system more than $300 billion in grid costs?and reduce winter heating bills by $19 billion a year, a study released last year by the Department of Energy found." Thank you CNET for an informative article on the future of geothermal heating and cooling!

Positive change requires action from all of us. Incumbents are fighting for the status quo to the detriment of the AEC industry. It's time to fight back.
