REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricityGeothermal energy is reliable, abundant, and efficient. Project Drawdown states that public investment will play a crucial role in its expansion. In what ways (i.e. with money, time, advocacy) can you invest in geothermal energy?
Addison Averill 10/24/2023 11:10 AMFor increasing the implementation of passive geothermal heat pumps, law makers could pass policies that give tax incintives to building owners.For increasing the number of active geothermal power plants,lawmakers could earmark money for these large-scale projects. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricityMicro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?
