I continue to question how much difference geothermal makes in the context of switching from relatively efficient direct conversion of fossil fuel to heat on-site to much more efficient conversion of electricity to heat on-site at the expense of having to use electricity that was generated inefficiently from fossil fuels elsewhere and and then partially lost in tranport.
Nevertheless, we are trying to arrange to have a geotheral heating and cooling system for our house. We believe geothermal is already better and that generation will be more appropriate in the future. If we still lived in Quebec then it would be a no-brainer. 96% if Quebec's electricity is produced by hydroelectric means.
