I saw the movie in the Hot Springs Theater back in 1988 when a group of spelunkers were in town exploring Wind Cave National Park a few miles way. When Lindenbrook decided to take a sample off the cave wall the spelunkers all hissed.
My company has quite a few customers who do geological data processing for the extraction industries, which has always made me feel a bit icky. But if they can use our tech to make things better, that would be very nice.
Oh, heat pumps are da bomb! All they do is force heat to move from a cooler place to a warmer place, and the efficiency equations all turn upside down to make them VERY favorable. If the temperature difference you need is modest (and remember, temperatures are referred to absoute zero which is like -400 F, so ordinary differences are small in absolute terms) you can pump a huge amount of heat using a small amount of work.
The nominal wattage on residential solar panels has seen impressive gains in the past 10 years. The size of the arrays that people need have fallen considerably, except that we keep electrifying everything!
After doing a little more research on the subject, I expect you are correct. I think my neighbor was using a somewhat exaggerated description of the installation he most likely paid significant coin for.
Motors from old washing machines will convert motion to electric. One motor attached to a paddlewheel in a brook won't produce that much electric, but ten might. And if the washers are from a dump, it's not as expensive.
What about that selfish Greta Thunberg?

The Tulalip Tribes admin building is geothermal cooled and heated.
Different process entirely. Besides geothermal wells are usually no more than 400 feet deep, whereas fracking can go to 10,000 feet

Climate optimism is tedious and unhelpful.
Sounds like both lips.
Around here those are called Ground Source heat pumps, and they're great. I doubt they're truly geothermal.

So, shortly after PAB publishes his healthcare plan to replace Obamacare?
