Doesn’t George Bush have a geothermal powered house in Crawford? I wonder if anyone ever interviewed him about how well it works…?

In the USA “geothermal” is something exotic and somewhat misleading. Go to any major city in northern Europe and most of them are heated in the winter by “geothermal”, but actually what it is is underground piping using ground heat in large heat-pump systems.

“Real” geothermal is areas that have uncommon volcanic based temperatures at shallow depth. EG Iceland.
