The Government handed out some big bucks this week. How does 338 million in grants sound? Well, this is in an effort to get the development of geothermal energy on a fast track.
Some of the companies that got the grants were:
Ormat Technologies
AltaRock Energy
City government of Raleigh, NC
County government of Hattiesburg, MS
Companies that are putting the grants into their projects ranging from putting geothermal heat pump into a waste water processing center to putting heat pumps in to keep prisoners comfortable. (more…)
