    Geothermal energy is reliable, abundant, and efficient. Project Drawdown states that public investment will play a crucial role in its expansion. What kind of investment seems most feasible for you?

    What kind of investment seems most feasible for me? Is learning that you can save bills if you use geothermal power. "Geothermal power literally “earth heat” taps into underground reservoirs of steamy hot water, which can be piped to the surface to drive turbines that produce electricity."
