I'm under the impression that geo-energy is competitive with natural gas, at least that's what the chart from EIA says. There is a ton of conflicting information out there but what I've read from believable sources is that geo can only make up a fraction of the whole demand in the US. Some say the bulk will have to come from solar PV and some say "advanced nuke", whatever that means. Maybe it's different in Canada. Maybe my sources are wrong. I only know what I read.I am a real proponent of geo tech (I think I said that lol) but it too has a few environmental issues. But with out subsidies geo is out of reach for most home owners. Community loop fields are now being offered in a few communities here and that is reducing capital costs per home/business. Actually was at one today that went down.
