That is micro-geothermal, not geothermal. It's not my fault if you don't
explain properly well.

BTW, that is a SMALL part of a global thing called "sustainable
architecture" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_architecture )
. Double-glass, gas/foam inside of walls, natural light efficiency,
natural ventilation.

Quotation: " The most important and cost effective
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost-effectiveness> element of an
efficient heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC)
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC> system is a well insulated building
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation>."

I miss the point of geothermal there...

As I told you, digging around volcanic areas can easily cause loads of
earthquakes, as already demonstrated in Switzerland and New Zealand.
Looks like Hawai is having problems as well...

BTW, geothermal plants cause CO2 & CH4 (methane) emissions, H2S (acid
rain) and ammonia (NH3). The water used there is rich in heavy metals
(mercurium and so), and might be processed & reused to avoid toxic
waste, and so and so and so....

Do you want a private company to operate such a toxic environment for
their economic profit????

Your solution isn't cheaper than wind power and can't be used in most
countries  ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source
) and has plenty of well known backside effects...

Ok, it took me 10 minutes to demonstrate how was your point, with
references.

Is it okay for you now? otherwise, please, don't reply me again without
scientific references... I got rid of religious beliefs.
