   @revjss i knew someone not that far west of Boston that had thermal installed in their home a long time ago. It worked and they loved it, until Boston happened and the pipes froze and broke and flooded the street in winter.

     I don’t think of Massachusetts as being a great candidate for geothermal, but look at what’s happening in Framingham! https://insideclimatenews.org/news/21122024/boston-suburb-taps-geothermal-energy/

     “Eversource has completed a geothermal system in Framingham that provides heating and cooling for an entire neighborhood, including public housing residents, by tapping low-temperature thermal heat from underground wells. It was the first geothermal system ever built by a gas utility. More than that, it’s a demonstration project that could chart a new course for the industry by transitioning off gas while preserving jobs.”
