In this week’s episode we meet up with Devon Winczura and Steve Oslanski from Envirotech Geothermal to learn why geothermal is catching on.

“Just give me the warm power of the sun,” so open’s John Hall’s anthem to renewable energy written in 1979. The idea of getting energy from the sun or the earth was quite romantic in the the 1970s, but today it’s a pragmatic reality and one of the key solutions to the ravages of climate change.

Geothermal energy systems could be one of the most important members of the family of clean energy solutions.

It’s not a new technology, there are more than 100,000 geoexchange systems installed in Canada already, but what was a niche solution now seems poised to become one of the most important methods of heating buildings of the future.

Sounds melodramatic? Well, consider the benefits.
