For more than 30 years, Jay Egg, president of Egg Geo, has helped to educate about and advocate for ground-source heat technology. He has presented at countless training events, seminars and tradeshows for the geothermal industry, and written or co-written several books on the topic. Egg spoke to us about training, what geothermal looks like in 2020 and what he sees on the horizon.
As a die-hard geothermal supporter, he’s bullish on growth prospects. He says demand for geothermal heating and cooling will continue an upward trend as regulations increasingly weigh on carbon-based energy options. Drillers, he says, have plenty of room to claim market share on commercial, residential and public projects.
