Cool kids know that thermal energy networks -- shallow geothermal networks for heating whole communities -- are the hottest thing in energy right now. Here's a new research paper on their "emerging opportunities, challenges, and needs."

The Massachusetts utility regulator trying to orchestrate a shift away from gas
How can a state deliberately transition off of gas while protecting workers and ratepayers? We dig into the details.

“Dozens of states are considering bills that would echo the one just passed in Massachusetts, which makes it legal for natural gas companies to become thermal companies”

Excellent ep on thermal energy networks from @volts.wtf.
I've been researching TENs at @sightline.org for a few years now. TENs can electrify neighborhoods, are wildly efficient (good for grid), offer cooling+heating, transition the natgas workforce, etc. WA passed a TENs law in 2024, is OR next?

Today on Volts: thermal energy networks are the new hotness! Replacing fossil gas pipes & furnaces with water pipes & heat pumps was a niche idea not long ago. Now the first pilot is completed & dozens more are on the way. This is how natgas companies can survive: become thermal energy companies.

/Magavi and Audrey Schulman came up with the idea of the “gas to geo evolution” several years ago after Magavi realized how expensive it would be to install a geothermal heat pump in her home.../ www.wbur.org/news/2024/03...

A project in Mass. tests a future for gas utilities without fossil fuels
Eversource is building the country's first gas utility-led networked geothermal system in Framingham. Environmentalists hope it can be a model for other gas utilities to wean themselves off of fossil fuels.
