Bob, regardless of the efficiency of geothermal pump systems, what is economic benefit of installing these systems vs Nat Gas How many homes across US already have these systems in place? Are you proposing transition through gov subsidies?
Due to volumetric electric pricing, heat pumps effectively "subsidize" fossil fuel use since they pay more of grid delivery costs than they cause. Gas also receives more subsidies from govt... Without inequitable rates and subsidies for gas, heat pumps would be cheaper than gas.
