Recent advances in geothermal energy technology have the potential to significantly boost the prospects of this largely untapped energy source. A story about a man who converted his home to an all-electric system showcases the increasing feasibility and affordability of transitioning away from traditional energy sources. The silent tragedy of local restrictions on renewable energy provides insight into the harmful impact of policies that block cleaner energy sources, which in many cases are inspired by persistent disinformation. These stories underscore the emerging push towards sustainable and renewable energy sources, particularly in the context of greater awareness and emphasis on environmental protections.
