Geothermal power is hot stuff
Geothermal power is hot stuff
Submitted by Jorge Sosa on March 16, 2007
George and Donna Pavelek love their renewable energy.
Since 2003, the couple have used a geothermal system to heat and cool their home. “I’m not into all this global warming (stuff) or anything,” Donna said. “It just made sense. We’re not radical by any means, just practical.”
Donna said four or five years ago, the cost-versus-payback equation on wind energy didn’t make sense for them. However, they expect their geothermal heating and cooling system to pay for itself in the next two or three years.

Geothermal Energy Delivering Big Savings - Case Study
Geothermal energy delivering big savings
Ground-source heating attracts interest despite initial costs

In only two months last year, Eric Lange's company, Lange Transportation and Storage Ltd. found $12,000 in energy savings beneath his company's 70,000-sq.-ft. Mississauga warehouse after installing a geothermal heating & cooling system.
Geothermal energy conjures up images of homes heated by volcanic hot springs in Iceland or Japan, but the system Lange installed, referred to as ground-source heating and cooling, works most places on the planet.
Geothermal power may not be for every building, and initial capital costs are an obstacle.
