Geothermal is officially out of the niche as Alberta and global leaders recognize always-on geothermal heat as a practical energy solution. For decades, the global conversation around renewable energy has been dominated by two main characters: wind and solar. We have seen vast arrays of panels and towering turbines rise across our prairies, and while […]
