Yellowknife is the geothermal energy hot spot in Canada. Right now Yellowknife’s greenhouse gases per-person are the highest in the Northwest Territories.
Soon the greenhouse gases will go down due to Yellowknife’s Community Energy Plan. Municipal officials plan to use clean geothermal energy from the Con mine (abandoned mine shaft) to heat 2000 homes.
The problem is that they must develop a loop system to heat buildings which may take time to finish and it will take up a good chunk of money. Once it’s finished cost for heating homes and buildings will cost less than before.
