  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Electricity
    Geothermal 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?

    For increasing the implementation of passive geothermal heat pumps lawnmake could pass policies that give tax incentives to building owners.


    For increasing the number of active geothermal power plants, lawmakers could earmark money for theses large scale projects

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Electricity
    Micro 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?
