Woah! I had no idea this was such old tech. Just to clarify you don't have "geothermal" energy as in Iceland correct? As in you don't have an extra hot subterranean source?

Why so deep? That seems crazy far to go down. Isn't it sufficient to go down 10 feet? Does it get much hotter that far down? I guess for a cooling system you wouldn't need to go so far.


Correct it is not the kind of geothermal as in Iceland. The ones we got is all about utilising a clever system of heat exchangers and compressor(s). So it does consume elecricity, but is is more efficient than heating the heating system within the house directly.

The depth is all about reaching bedrock where there is a lot of groundwater circulation. The more circulation you have the better it will be, hence the depth.

There are systems where the collector circuit uses a nearby lake or even just being dug down in the ground just at a few meters. None of them are that common though, especially with the never air/air systems But if you have the ability to drill a hole, that system is more efficient than both of them, and for larger houses that will be required. Our house is from 1878 with 650 m2 so we consume somewhere between 45 000 to 50 000 KWh. Without the geothermal that would be signifficantly higher.

Wow! I didn't know houses that large were common in the 1800s, that's 7000 ft2. Not cheap to heat.

What's great about solutions for the home is they exit the political debate to hit the pocketbook of the resident.

The phenomenal arc in efficiency in lighting a home serves as a real inspiration from candles to LEDs.

It might be a typo. Living in Denver isn't that much different than Scandinavia. The altitude is why. If his home is 700 ft^2, then it's about $1000 euros to heat it.
If the numbers he gave are correct, he lives in a building with other people. Think a condo or other type of residence. Still, Americans think differently than other people. Things are different here.
I remember when I visited Yekaterinburg, Russia. The average temperature was about 0 degrees F. I saw only buildings. Even the zoo had no windows.

In Sweden, the cost of 1 KwH is about 50% more than in the US. You seem to have no understanding about heat and energy costs. Even in Norway they don't lower costs because it's convenient. They plan long term.

Cheaper doesn't mean sustainable. Americans don't get this. Too many resources comes from other countries. This could be the Golden Age of humanity.
Life is good. But as populations increase and resources decrease, what then ?

The cost of electricity in Sweden is based on Three parts
1. The cost of the ectricity itself where you can choose any supplier and different price plans.
2. Cost for the grid, which is a local monopoly, although regulated by laws.
3. Electeicity tax And VAT

We pay the following / kWh (SEK / USD = 9,38)
Electricity: 0,39 SEK (0,042 USD)
Electricity tax: 0,347 SEK (0,037 USD)
Grid: 0,26 SEK (0,028 USD)
COO: 0,025 SEK (0,0027 USD)
VAT: 0,25 SEK (0,027 USD

So all in all 1,273 SEK/kWh (0,136 USD/kWh). Where taxes and grid is what cost the Most.

It is a quite large house. Many country houses are in general quite large in our area, but this has a history dating back to the era of the Forest industry emerging so the one who built it could afford it.... The reason we bought it was that we wanted to "move home" and after selling our house in Stockholm (our capitol) we could by far afford it. But it takes a few kWh to heat - even though we have geothermal and a lot of insulation on walls and roof.

LED's is all we can bug theese days, so I am not that worried about having a few christmas lights running.

It actually isn't a typo, but I wish our electricity bills were. We were aware of that though when we bought the house, and our electricity bill is ~5000 EUR/year. The house is located just a few meters above sea level and right in the middle of Sweden- speaking lattitude that is. We are in the same lattitude as Anchorage so winters can be quite cold here, thus the cost of heating. I posted a specifikation or electricity costs where we live, and thankfully we live in än area where the grid doesn't cost that much..

It probably is. With systems like what he has, I wonder if people in smaller homes split the cost and maintenance. With what he pays in heating costs, I have a brother where he and his wife spend over $400 a month to heat a smaller home in the winter.
Just imagine how much that could help northern states.

Yeah I think taking a 5 to 10 year budget on things like that is realistic. Reduce a heating bill like that just 20% and you're saving $10,000 over 10 years.

What I worry about though is active resistance from the industry that will lose the money.

It's possible that people owe too much to take on debt for something like that. I think Americans should learn more about economics.
BTW, if the systems are made in the US it would create a lot of NEW jobs. If we import from a country like China then we'd be creating jobs for them.
At the same time it could lower the cost of manufacturing. If health care costs were lowered then it could make American made goods more cost competitive globally. People don't understand that when we pay twice as much or more for health care it makes American made goods more expensive.

In all comercials our larger energy companies Always gives "Good advice" on the to reduce energy consumtion by insulation, don't leaving lights on, buying A+++ classed appliancies and so on and so forth. Some even sells PV, which absolutely will help. But that pumps, regardless of what type is never mentioned. Hmmm..... Nonetheless, more and more houses as well smaller rental buildings inställa geothermal.

One important aspect of this is that Most houses already has some kind of central heating with a waterbased circulation to radiative in the house. Charging to geothermal is in thoose cases is "only" a matter of drilling and installing the geothermal pump. If jo such system, is in place air/air pumps are a more cost effective solution.

An electric utility most often doesn't even generate its own power. That comes from privately own suppliers in many cases. The utility is just a broker.

There is no real competition to the oil companies by solar power. Solar power is simply a hell of a lot more expensive than coal or oil. It is one of the most expensive methods of producing power, watt for watt. You've already been down this road. RDCF. RQAA.

You forget that the government is interested in fudging these numbers as well so as to justify their 'green' energy programs, which provide subsidies to build 'green' energy.

YOU don't get to dictate the energy markets. There is a reason most energy in the United States is based on coal and oil.

ALL of the wind generators in Washington combined, which consumes all that real estate, doesn't equal the amount of power generated by a single reactor at our one and only nuclear plant.

Neither do they generate the power anywhere close to a single coal plant in northern Nevada.

It's piddle power. It's expensive. The energy markets decide. YOU don't.

Carbon-14 is created continuously by cosmic rays from outer space, not by the burning of coal or by the use of a nuclear power plant or by the printing of dollars to pay off debt.

So it looks like C14 is the stuff they use for radio carbon dating. The more of it there is the younger a dead, formerly living thing is. So Coal is actually depleted of carbon 14.

Many man-made chemicals are derived from fossil fuels (such as petroleum or coal) in which 14C is greatly depleted.

Argument from randU fallacy. You don't know how much C14 is in coal (if any). Strawman fallacy. C14 is no more radioactive than YOU are.

Wikipedia dismissed on site. You cannot use it as a reference. False authority fallacy.

So it looks like C14 is the stuff they use for radio carbon dating. The more of it there is the younger a dead, formerly living thing is. So Coal is actually depleted of carbon 14.

Many man-made chemicals are derived from fossil fuels (such as petroleum or coal) in which 14C is greatly depleted.

You and I have a super power ITN/IBD can only marvel at keepit. We are here to explore and don't mind being wrong!


No one knows where coal comes from. You are making shit up again. There is no such thing as depleted C14. Buzzword fallacy.

Wikipedia explains how the C14 got there. No matter how radioactive we are there is not a good reason to add more radioactivity to us.
I knew one of you guys way going to say something like "if a little radioactivity is OK, then more radioactivity is also OK".

No one is. You have absolutely no clue about radioactivity, do you?

What more radioactivity?

It's just too much work to unravel all your misinterpretations ITN.

Who said anything about depleted C14?
