They are being taken advantage of all the time with the installation of geothermal heat pumps to replace high energy heating and cooling systems.

In Manitoba, where I live, there has been a strong industry grow up around the home heating with geothermal heat pumps. I recently had my house retrofited. It was paid for through a Manitoba Hydro Eco loan (a crown Corp.) and I am only one of 3500 home in the province who have done this in the past few years.

'do no harm' to companies who are reeking eco havoc on albertas air and water wtf? Anyways good on the Pembina institute for releasing the rerpot and good on you for brining it to the forefront. excellent point on the drilling experience. what is Prentice talking about? ‘do no harm’ to companies who are reeking eco havoc on albertas air and water wtf?

Example: UTC Power http://www.utcpower.com/fs/com/bin/fs_com_PowerHomePage/, makes a unit that can generate electricty from water of 90 degree centigrade. Raser technologies has used it for a power plant, and it seems to be commercially viable today.
