In the Western U.S., a new drilling technique makes geothermal drilling more accessible. To the east, we have the first utility-run thermal energy network. The west coast generally sees geothermal as “always-on” clean electricity & the east coast sees geothermal as a way to replace gas-powered furnaces for many neighborhoods, campuses and commercial buildings.
