Both require drilling that is a major factor in their cost and inhibit adoption was my point. Ground source heat pumps are called “geothermal” systems even though they don’t generate electricity.
- kragen 5y agoYou can build ground-source heat pumps by laying pipe in trenches in your yard, which is almost, but not quite, completely unlike drilling through kilometers of rock. It's true that they're sometimes called "geothermal", but they're still totally irrelevant to this article.
