cheese63 asks: "I was reading an article in the New York Times about the usage of geothermal energy for homes. Does anybody out there use this type of energy? If so, how viable is it in reality?"
Remeber reading an article a while ago about Iceland, where they hope to have enough geothermal powered/heated greenhouses to be self-sufficient in about a decade or two.
The article mentioned how they generated power from steam, then piped the "waste heat" as if it were a public sewer, and instead heated homes with it.
