Geothermal Energy: How Big is the Potential?
There is a lot of energy right under our feet, a relic from Earth's hot past as a ball of plasma. But how much can geothermal energy realistically do for us? What technologies are currently being pursued, what are the risks, and is it even carbon neutral? In this video we have collected all the relevant facts and numbers for you.

True, that.
Most people are going to think about needing to be some kind of hot springs or something. And these are ideal locations for a large city sized geothermal power station. But, many people are using a much more scaled down technology called Heat Pump, which promises the same year long steady power output, ideal for individual #offgrid homes.
@corlin I love Sabine!
I tried to install geothermal way back before it was kewl. Unfortunately, my radiator pipes are too small and it would require tearing out all the walls and add all new larger copper pipes and larger radiators... I even tried getting it set up for preheating my boiler.. no one would do it. For those that CAN do it.. go for it!
