I have a feeling that geothermal works better on the small scale here than large scale.

And by small scale I mean one house at a time.

  - Yep, that's the small scale use. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 2, 15:33
- It might work fine, But small scale is probably the better application for much of the US. - the liioulu with Aug 2, 15:32 2
  - I'd say suburban and rural. too many other things underground in big cities -- nm - zork Aug 2, 15:33 1
    - "more urban" Didn't say urban. Though it would depend on the area. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 2, 15:35
