My parents built a new house off the beaten path almost 4 years ago, and opted to go with geo-exchange because natural gas isn't available in their area.
The system costs significantly more than a standard one, but heating and cooling costs are HALF of what they were at their old house, which was significantly smaller. According to some back-of-the-napkin numbers my dad crunched, they should hit the break-even point after less than 15 years of use.

I clicked on your post with every intention of immediately posting (almost verbatim) the second line of your post. Very creepy.
It took me like three tries before I stopped reading the headline as "Growing Planets in Lunar Gravity"

Bill Introduced != Law Passed
Absolutely. Your greatest possibility for revenge is through the Streisand Effect.
Theft, unlawful search and seizure, destruction of property..... You could go nuts with this. This can't possibly be legal.
