[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 910451, member: 14544"] Jim, Geothermal is a great idea and if I were planing on staying in my house for a long period of time, I would go that route as well. I looked into it for the house I bought 2 years ago. It isn't pennies. And there is no way I will get the cost back out of the house unless I stay in it for a longer period of time than I plan to. Is it something that will be helpful. Absolutely- one of the best options to actually decrease use in heating/cooling of homes/buildings right now. That being said, I'm not sure how the geothermal truck and tractor deal is going to work out for you. Good luck with that. :tiphat: I assume you were referring to my comments coming from Fox news. Actually, if you look the facts were coming from the US Energy Information [url=http://www.eia.gov/]http://www.eia.gov/[/url]. I quoted other sources, because it was quicker. You may want to read a little bit on your own. I have a hard time taking News reporters words as the gospel. A journalist obtains a bachelors in communications and you start taking their word for understanding all science and economy related material? How many times have the totally screwed up agricultural stories? They aren't authorities, and they don't look for them. They look to sensationalize, and most are very skewed left. I'm interested in watching all the coal haters try to regulate China and Russia. Oh that's right, we can't and won't. Guess who will be buying all our dirty coal? Deal is already in the works. And sure it makes sense to not drill in the gulf, but pay Brazil to do it for us. If you can't see that we are shooting ourselves in the foot on purpose, then your blind. If you believe in global warming, you need to read more. If global warming is false, then what is the problem with coal? Nothing! And if you look around there were email leaks about climatologists proving that they know it is false.
