Will geothermal energy be a big hit for us?

Question by : Will geothermal energy be a big hit for us?
We’re looking at purchasing a home with geothermal energy. Right now we have the traditional central air and propane heat. Can anyone tell me stories (good and bad) of their experience with geothermal energy? I’ve heard it’s expensive to install (but that’s already done for us) that’s about all we know. Anyone have a difference in bills? Big difference, small difference?

Geothermal Energy at Sundance Resort

There is a clean alternative to Nuclear and Fossil Fuel energy production. Geothermal electricity is electricity generated from geothermal energy. Technologies in use include dry steam power plants, flash steam power plants and binary cycle power plants. Geothermal electricity generation is currently used in 24 countries while geothermal heating is in use in 70 countries. In the 20th century, demand for electricity led to the consideration of geothermal power as a generating source. Prince Piero Ginori Conti tested the first geothermal power generator on 4 July 1904 in Larderello, Italy. It successfully lit four light bulbs. Later, in 1911, the [...]

Question by MZ: Heating/cooling buildings by exchange w/shallow groundwater systems is a form of SOLAR or GEOTHERMAL energy?

Best answer:

Answer by JohnThat would be geothermal…hence the meaning of the word GEO-the earth, THERMAL-temperature. If the sunlight was in direct contact with the exchange unit it would be solar energy, but it relies on the earth’s warming and cooling features.

Hope that does it for you.
