homes and commercial buildings consume roughly two-fifths of the country’s overall energy, three-fourths of all electricity, and account for most of the peak electricity demand that drives generation and power grid infrastructure costs. Shifting heating from fossil fuels to electricity can cut direct emissions.

While this underground energy source is perfect for geothermal heating applications in colder climates, it can also be used as a supplemental power source for an overused power grid. This also places enormous pressure on America’s fragile electricity grid and forces you to consider renewable energy solutions.
