Are you curious about Geothermal Systems? This month’s Green Eggs will provide a complete overview of these exciting systems and explain the many benefits they have to offer. Currently, 80% of Maine homes depend on oil for heat. Geothermal energy is a time-tested renewable resource that has become a popular alternative to fossil fuels for the heating and cooling of our homes and buildings. Come join us to learn how these highly efficient systems conserve natural resources, provide significant energy cost savings, and offer valuable tax incentives.  The presentation will feature technical explanations of various geothermal systems and will include informative handout materials.
