Both houses of the California legislature have passed a bill called SB-32 which would tell the California Air Resources Board "to ensure that statewide greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to 40% below the 1990 level by 2030." The state's Democratic governor has issued a statement indicating that he intends to sign it into law.

The Western States Petroleum Association and the California Manufacturers & Technology Association expressed their opposition to the bill.

    What you're talking about exists and has been around for decades. It's called a ground source heat pump (GSHP). The principle is 6ft down the earth is a constant 55F.

    Exactly. Its not exactly rocket science. Like you say, not even new. My only twist is phase changing both propane and water in order to store thermal energy ( either to heat or to cool ) driven by solar energy, so that one can continue to have a boosted GSHP operating during times the solar panels aren't putting out sufficient to do the job.
