Many of the early geothermal HVAC systems installed in our area were in rural locations, for a variety of reasons. The main consideration in several of these areas was poor access to natural gas supplies. Natural gas was, historically, a less costly energy source for heating our homes, especially with the advent of high-efficiency furnaces. Electric heating was often accomplished in these areas with electric baseboards, limiting air movement in homes due to the lack of ducting and fans associated with forced air. Humidity issues are more common with this type of heating supply, and electrical energy costs are higher than with comparable gas furnaces. Because of this, many of the current local companies that pioneered geothermal systems were based in rural communities.
These organizations will provide the financial backing to build the wind farms, rather than having the government finance the upfront costs, as it is doing with the hydro dams in northern Manitoba. All Manitoba Hydro has to do is follow Ontario's lead and buy the power back from the companies at an increased rate above the six or seven cents a kilowatt-hour Hydro is currently offering. If Manitoba is to reach its target of 1,000 megawatts by 2015, it had better buy power at a higher price or companies will build their wind farms elsewhere. (Ontario is currently offering 13.5 cents per kilowatt-hour to wind-energy developers.) The Manitoba government should invest in wind, solar, and geothermal energy rather than hydro, because it helps to offset our dependence on one type of "clean ener...

[Ed Schreyer] said geothermal heating is "an idea whose time has come" and the government is perfectly positioned to help Manitobans offset the cost of installing a geothermal system. That is not the case with the loans offered by Manitoba Hydro's Power Smart program. Under that program, Manitobans can get up to $15,000 at a fixed 6.5 per cent interest rate to pay for geothermal heating systems, a system Schreyer called "good intentioned" but not truly low-interest. There is an economic argument to do it already," said [Jim Rondeau] of the geothermal systems. "That's why 5,000 people have done it.
