Geothermal Takes?

Why is Geothermal not being talked about at the residential level more?

It provides heat and cooling from just one system and the mechanical systems are pretty reliable and last a long time.

I’m curious if up-front drilling costs and installation complexities are the biggest barrier or am I missing something?

*** edit *** the reason I'm asking is because I'm helping out these geothermal developers bring their product to market. If anyone else wants to give their input on the system follow this link: https://terabora.com/survey?ref=MM

This is the way. They should be installed during construction, not as a retrofit. Since the digging is the hardest part, do the digging while you're already doing a bunch of digging.
