Green heat and cooling from District geothermal in New Haven, CT!

Historic busy train station + 1000 units of new public housing
Linked with ground loops, heat pumps.
Moving toward clean municipal utility 🙌

Dense urban center, major freeway (I-95), so switching from oil or gas heat is big win for health.

Bardzo ciekawe i niestraszące. Oby technologia dowiodła, że to ma sens i może przyczynić się do prawdziwej zmiany. Szczególnie ostatnia część jest ciekawa

Geothermal power is a climate moonshot beneath our feet—The New Yorker

Most interesting approach: the gyrotron microwave beam from Quaise Energy. Of course, there is already a sci-fi cautionary tale: 1965 film “Crack in the World.”

Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba appears to be charting a different course from his predecessor on renewable energy, especially with a nascent effort to expand an energy source Japan has in abundance but has yet to fully utilize: geothermal power. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2024/10/13/energy/ishiba-climate-energy-policies/
