Did the Swedish government subsidize this? If so, how much? over what length of time?<br /><br />What are you heating costs on a monthly basis? You speak as if it is totally free.<br /><br />Almost my entire region has natural gas. It is clean and it is silent. For many years it was cheap; there was a bubble for a few years, when profiteers drove the price way up. It's higher now but not crazy high anymore.<br /><br />You seem to think natural gas catches fire all the time, or blows up. It CAN happen, but it is pretty rare. I can think of maybe 2 explosions in 20 years around here -- it is big news if it does happen -- in an area of 2.5 million people. When it occurs, it is always carelessness and neglect, like people smoking around an obvious gas leak.concerned Citizen, Anywheresvillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527299533362125857.post-75025346833364362092012-12-28T15:27:22.516+01:002012-12-28T15:27:22.516+01:00Can you supply links to the manufacturers sites wh...Can you supply links to the manufacturers sites who build these devices?

I agree it is strange. Probably because it is difficult to make electricity from it, I presume? But it is possible: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_electricityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
