Germany's cabinet approved a draft law on Wednesday aimed at fast-tracking the rollout of geothermal energy projects, as part of its goal to eliminate fossil fuel-based heating by 2045. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/08/07/energy/germany-geothermal-energy-projects/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #geothermal #energy #renewables #germany

Geotermální energie se považuje za drahou a občas nespolehlivou, protože hledání zdrojů teplé vody často selhává. V německém městečku Geretsried (jižně od Mnichova) nyní zkoušejí nový přístup: místo horké vody se zde vrtá horká hornina – celosvětově unikátní postup.
Technologie nazvaná Eavor Loop nespoléhá na přirozeně se vyskytující horkou vodu v zemské kůře, ale využívá uzavřený systém. Do hloubky přibližně 4 500 metrů jsou vyvrtány dva vertikální vrty, které jsou propojeny dalšími horizontálními vrty. V tomto uzavřeném potrubním systému cirkuluje speciální kapalina, kterou ohřívá geotermální energie.

"UN says booming solar, wind and other green energy hits global tipping point for even lower costs"
Clean energy is far cheaper to add than fossil fuel energy, despite fossil fuels having 9x the government subsidies worldwide!
We've hit the point where good financial sense aligns with saving the planet

Hi. I'm kbob. Intro time.
I used to get paid to write software. Now that I'm retired, I do it for free. I also play with 3D printers and electronics and stuff.
I love learning, and I like to make things the hard way. I often create a #BuildThread about a project and update it for months.

When we chose our heat pump 16 years ago, the choices for heating were oil, propane, or electric. All of those were costly, and we also needed to add A/C. Air-source heat pumps weren't really available, but geothermal was. So we paid $17K in 2009 dollars and that was after almost $10K in government rebates. We learned a lot about heat pumps vs. traditional fuels.
would you pay $1700 a month for an apartment with a garden, library, and reduced electric?

WH spox Harrison Fields said #Trump “shocked” the energy industry back to life & called on the Senate to “liberate our federal lands & waters to #oil, #gas, #coal, #geothermal, & #mineral leasing.”
…With the opinion, the Trump admin is saying it has the power to abolish or shrink #NationalMonuments that have not yet been ratified by #Congress, said John Leshy, a University of California College of the #Law professor who served as #Interior’s solicitor general in the #Clinton admin.

Here in Alberta we could ABSOLUTELY do the same kind of thing with #Geothermal. Just call up our friends at #EavorTechnologies, they'll tell you.
