It can heat and cool buildings, as well as produce electricity. The Earth’s core (1,800 miles below the surface) is as hot as the sun. This creates a heat source throughout the layers of the Earth. The underground area closer to the surface (~500 feet down) has stable temperatures year-round. We can trade heat above and below ground for heating or cooling. By going deeper, drilling wells to just a few miles below the...

Worth reading—Dr. Charles Kutscher, P.E., a member of the CRES Policy Committee, recently wrote an op-ed on the threat Amendment 82 poses to Colorado's clean energy goals. Don't give the gas industry widespread pollution protection! Get out and vote! Read it here: https://ow.ly/XmGQ50ZZvaJ
