This should not be confused with a Geothermal Heat Pump. Which only needs its exchange pipes a few feet below the ground. This type of hi tech science is confusing consumers and politicians alike. Geothermal Heat Pumps could heat and cool most houses in this country.

Pidos847 and tsuchan1 I believe your in violent agreement! ...
There is Geothermal exchange technology as well as this technology -- with is totally different than using a geothermal well to generate steam or temperatures to create pressurized gas for driving a turbine generator. Exchange uses the constant ground temperature and a heat pump. Here is one example:

Pidos: the problem with your challenge "I hope every educated themselves about geothermal heating and cooling" is that really, you haven't. This video is about geothermal, but listen to what he's describing... pipes of 5-6km deep. It's completely beyond home budgets... this is much bigger scale stuff.

You're confusing it with ground source energy (not surprising, because that's often mis-named geothermal). It claims stored solar heat from near the earth's surface and is used domestically.

Geothermal energy is the key to our future of renewable sources. It is the has no clean, natural, and installing a geothermal system at your home will pay its self off in savings within 3-5 years. It has a warranty for over 100 years and uses very little electricity to operate. It also has the best air filtration and almost never requires maintenance. It is worth the money to invest in a geothermal system. I hope everyone educated themselves about geothermal heating and cooling.
