It took roughly nine years for the country to hit 50 gigawatts, but now it’s on track to reach 100 gigawatts by the end of 2023. But the four of us know utility solar makes the real impact. We are big, but boring.”

Depending on where you are, somewhere between 30% to 70% of primary energy is spent on heating and cooling. This presents a massive decarbonization opportunity, one reason why geothermal heating and cooling is growing and will continue to grow rapidly. This is inherently wasteful and it comes with a price tag of emissions.
