Geothermal heat pumps are feasible for residential heating and cooling - it will make a difference as long as we organize and make it happen. If we leave it up to the people "in charge" we'll never see it, because it's not profitable to them.

Building the technology is hard. Scaling the technology is a LOT harder.

Yes! I want to build affordable housing! Instead, I'm driving a school bus.

Don't get me wrong, working with kids and making school days better are great. I just wish that, you know, they had a place to live that is more than glued-together sawdust and VOCs.

We CAN build durable, energy efficient, sustainable, generational housing.
