Your Self Sufficiency - GEOTHERMAL HEAT PUMPS

We heat and light our home, cook our food, communicate, pump our water and sewage, and power our tools with electricity. We could do without it, but frankly I for one would rather not, but even leaving aside the coming changes, global warming and all the other factors, anyone living in this society can confirm that while prices may go up, they seldom come down, and when they do it is never to less than they were.

At most, solar panels work during daylight; windmills only work when the wind is blowing, and if it blows too gently or too hard, they stop working. Geothermal energy works

24 /7 no matter the weather. Geothermal power energy is clean, natural and free – it has no carbon footprint, takes up almost no useable space and doesn’t spoil the skyline. It is available to anyone any where there is a little open ground, from a small garden upwards.

All you need to use geothermal energy is a small difference in temperature – even just one or two degrees.

There are two min types of geo thermal energy. One requires Coils of pipe that are buried in the ground perhaps 3 feet down and connected to a heat pump that uses the difference in temperature between above ground and below ground to draw heat energy from the surrounding soil and turn it into electricity. The other kind requires drilling a hole in the earth down to a point where the rock is stl warm enough to heat water, which is pumped into the hole, heated by the rocks and returned to the surface, where the energy I transformed into electricity.

This book provides pages of useful information on this remarkably useful, readily available source of clean energy.
