Geothermal Applications in an Urban Context

Constantly, I'm seeing case studies that claim to explore the realities of integrating geothermal systems in new and existing buildings throughout major urban cities such as Washington, D.C., Detriot and New York.


Is geothermal the readily-available alternative energy source that everyone’s been waiting for, or just a digging expedition that swallows money?

Can the Department of Energy do more to identify opportunities as well as problems, and enable the stakeholders to determine whether or which of the geothermal options is right for national adoption?

My research has shown that despite its recent popularity, only one-third to one-half of proposed geothermal systems are built. Review the following resource material and share your views and recommendations.
