@JVCdude - I too live in BC (North Shore) and think BC is one of the leaders when it comes to geothermal energy. So many facilities and buildings/condos going up now are leading the way with this technology.
Again - take a peek at the vid I posted below. It's a long vid (1/2 hour), but opens your eyes on the electrical production side of it.
I have a friend who sets up free, and clean AC in buildings. A small home just needs a small tunnel of a certain length with an opening for air to come in dug around (if I remember correctly) about 6 foot down, then you add a small chimney in the roof of your house and connect the two. The heat differential will cause the cooler air of the tunnel to fill your house, and the hotter air to be blow out the chimney. I know he's set up a lot of them in places as hot as Africa and they work great.
@NorCalExplorer I was also surprised having recently seen documentaries that talked of Iceland and New Zealand. We are coming down to California in May and look forward to seeing the Geysers Geothermal Resource Area in Napa and Sonoma Counties.
@JCVdude Come by Northern California in June when you can get to Lassen Park. They have many kinds of thermals there. Don't miss bumpass if you are there.

Take care, and again - awesome video.

@JVCdude - great video! I totally agree with you on Geothermal energy, however Geothermal Electricity is not as clean as we're led to believe.
Geothermal energy -running pipes into the ground to heat water before going into facilities to lessen the demand for energy to heat is brilliant.
Geothermal Electricity is generated by collecting from steam pools that deplete, or by fracking the earth and injecting water.
The process induces earthquakes.
Just did a vid on this: watch?v=O0fT1U-6zUs

easy for iceland to be very big in geothermal, they'tr sitting on top of 2 volcanoes, including one which is a super volcanoe

@genie0390 Geothermal electricity generation is currently used in 24 countries while geothermal heating is in use in 70 countries.
All it takes is a commitment and will power.

Did not know that the U.S.A leads in geothermal energy. Thank you for the information.
