Negative things about geothermal energy 2

I cut back on my articles for a couple days. All of a sudden there were many people searching for things like the following:

cost “about geothermal energy”.
negative things about geothermal energy.
5 positive and 5 negative things of a Geoexchange.
geothermal electric bill.
how is heat transferred from on thing to.
geothermal energy (negative things).
geothermal cooling household.
geothermal borehole pipes.

The negative things about geothermal system for homes is not the drilling, unless you need 25, or 30 boreholes. It is, however, the digging up of the entire property to bury a slinky, or series of pipes just below the surface. It seems that the amount, or total length, of the pipes can also cause an increase in the horsepower needed to pump an adequate amount of water through the heat pump, allowing it to operate under its factory specified volume of water.

In spit of that, the Geoexchange system is the most cost effective, energy efficient air conditioning, and refrigeration method available today.

See ya,

Addendum:

Someone asked “Why geothermal energy negatives”? Well I guess I should have clarified that, a little. Its not the concept of Geothermal, its the current methods used to employ the technology. Current methods used to couple high efficiency heat pumps, and other equipment, to the unlimited energy resources provided by Mother Earth are not very efficient. There is, however, a new High Performance Geoexchange Sysem being made available as we speak.
