📝 Unidos Climate & Equity city-wide meeting at El Colegio

Notes from Geothermal breakout session

Activity: Create Power Map

Themes:

• Large energy users

• A lot of public entities

Other notes

• Not feasible to utilize gas pipes since we want to switch over to geothermal concurrently

• What can we do so we don’t need to raid the environment for new materials to build the new geothermal systems? Talking a lot about how can we co-opt the systems that already exist in our homes already without having to throw things out and replace them

• Dary wells deep wells?

• New construction mandate or encouragement? Or even requiring them to put in geothermal utility lines along with others to give the option / support to connect to future geothermal networks

• Anti displacement funding for supporting small businesses during any sort of installation or development built into the plan

• Updates: Sabanthi starting drilling this week, MIA going geothermal and recently met with a team and are on a 2-year plan
