Lots of good power sources! I bet there is even more power in Canada. Good info. :D

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I'm at home now; I have google earth in the office.
Speaking of office, my entire 40,000 sq. ft. campus is heated all winter with geothermal heat. Almost all of our summer AC is geothermal, too. Utility bills/carbon foot print is essentially zero. Coo, huh?

My new neighbor built his house with geothermal, says the electric pump to run the geothermal winter and summer is killing him dollarwise!
Sounds strange/counter-productive...always thought geothermal would be excellent...as good as advertised :?

Maybe he should get a windmill like yours for the electricity.
