Thanks for the good news, Bill. This is a great piece of reporting! Your work is a welcome reminder that all of mankind must somehow come together and advance these transformative technologies in tandem with the necessary 'revolution of consciousness' that will make a bright, new green world run by enlightened governments dedicated to promoting equality and the common good a reality. Articles like this are the sparks that ignite action that's truly efficacious in meeting the challenges of climate change. Thanks again.

Who could be against clean energy? Sadly, lots of people, for lots of foolish, greedy, petty reasons.

Penfist, I agree that those who are against clean energy do so for foolish, greedy and petty reasons. It seems very short-sighted to me for people to oppose clean energy. Those that are making lots of money now from fossil fuels are blind to the fact that no amount of money will buy their children and grandchildren a new planet to live on.

Love this! I’ve had a geothermal system for my Virginia home since 2010 and I’ve been very happy with it, though I had to replace some components last summer. What a step forward to expand past residential use!

lol. As a single mom building a house in the rural south, going head to head against mansplaining contractors was a journey!

Sounds promising! Interesting that National Grid (my utility provider in upstate NY) is involved.

And New York is also one of the few states that passed legislation permitting a gas utility to install "non gas" systems.

Everything that Stewart said goes for me too. Very much looking forward to reading "The switch has been flipped." Thanks Bill.
