[Eric in the Ozarks]

We did quite a bit of investigating into alternative sources of energy (HVAC) when we made plans to build a new house in '01. Solar with batteries really never paid out. Wind is not reliable.
The only high tech system that paid for itself and was reliable was a ground source heat pump with deep wells and heat exchanger. We paid about twice the cost of a traditional heat/cool system but our power bills for a 100 percent electric home are about $100/month. In the summer, our power bill actually goes down since the AC is essentially free.

Yea, a ground source heat pump with deep wells and heat exchanger can work in certain area -— primarily rural. Let some Liberal try it on the East side of Manhattan!
