2). Negatives of Using Geothermal For Your Home By : SolarMan
Using the inherent heat in the ground, geothermal, is being pushed by many experts as a great energy source. While this is generally true, there are some negatives as well. There is no disputing that we need to wean ourselves off of fossil fuels. While alternative energy sources are clearly the answer, there is a problem. Advocates of alternative energy tend to become emotionally attached to one source and discount others.

8). Alternative Cooling By : Sam Streubel
My favorite alternative cooling device is a gin and tonic. It’s portable, easy to operate and provides instant on-demand refreshment. Is there such a thing as a Tanqueray energy tax credit? Although you can install solar panels, a wind turbine or micro hydro to generate the electricity to run an air conditioner, the only true whole house alternative cooling method is a geothermal ground source pump.
