Did you see this CBC article about the Blatchford renewable energy utility project? The utility uses geothermal energy to provide heating and cooling to homes in the first stages of the community. What I liked best about this article is that we are seeing some good activity coming from Geothermal Utilities especially in regards to the community. In Ontario, there are some good projects happening in Multi-Residential, where there is a 3rd party utility installing and owning the systems. In any case, No Gas no problem! Entire communities can have their heating, cooling and domestic hot water requirements met by a district/community scale geothermal system. New developments should really be considering this approach, instead of the age-old way of tapping into the gas main. What are your thoughts? Leave a comment below. http://rebrand.ly/8jgpqb
