Engineering360: "DOE invests $6 million in geothermal heating and cooling technologies"

I have A well loop system. 27 years now. Water Furnace unit. By product, is of course hot water. This is a single home system that was the pioneer system for DTE energy. I was the person who asked for the 6 million dollar investment from DTE, in such a residental system. This program was shut down after only 2 months.

The system was so efficient that every single convert or total new, by design system lowered the electric bill by a minimum of 45% to ( like mine ) 65 %. This was fine for me and those few others until the * standard waiting period * used by most utilities expired. This waiting period is not a law. It is a system that the results of your investment in the proficenicy of geo-thermol heating and cooling will be subjected to. It is a wait and eliminate the benift, by rate control, removal of the rate time of day rates that eliminate the benifits of less energy use.

I am suggesting that some effort must be made to counter the results of such practices by all utilities. They simply change the rate policy to eliminate or counter the economic and energy efficiencies to benifit their bottom line.

The public Service Commisions of each individual state is usually where the utility efforts will be made to mitigate any improvements or results of your efforts acheive geo-thermol improvements. I would appreciate any suggestions your team may come up with to fight this that you can suggest to me to present to my goveror of the the state of Michigan as he, the second in command in Mi. has expressed a intrest to me in such a effort.

Side note the utilities of this nation are invested in not just the supply of energy to thier customers, but the very value of the carbor fuels them selves, the transportation of those carbon fuels the rail cars, The rails them selves and the transmission of the carbon fuel usage by the national grid. The transmission lines.
