Reduce Greenhouse Gases
Scientists say climate change is linked to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions from the production and use of fossil fuels around the world.
Geothermal Energy systems completely eliminate the need for fossil fuels for winter heating.
Reduce Dependence on Fossil Fuels
Early in this century, the production of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) will peak and start to decline. This will cause fossil fuel prices to rise dramatically, and governments around the world will have to develop alternative sources of energy to deal with the drop in production.
An intense effort by all nations will be required to develop energy conservation measures and renewable energy technologies.
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in its 2006 report Peak Oil: Regional Impact concluded:
“The potential ramifications of peak oil on the GTA... could be extensive if proper planning for a new energy future is not undertaken in the near future.”
The vast Geothermal resources in Ontario provide a unique opportunity to reduce our dependency on imported fossil fuels, provide a carbon free energy supply, and keep energy costs affordable.
