Twenty-four percent of our total greenhouse gas emissions come from natural gas. Today’s guest is Michael Sachse, CEO of Dandelion Energy, a geothermal heating company that has developed a scalable model for deploying residential geothermal heating and cooling to displace natural gas and heating oil and implement efficient cooling. Michael grew up in Washington, DC, and soon after working as a lawyer, he knew that he wanted to create an impact on the planet beyond the walls of his law firm.
Michael speaks with Marco on the difference between hot rocks geothermal found in countries like Iceland and the geothermal energy Dandelion Energy provides, what setting up access to geothermal energy would look like in your home, and the tremendous government subsidies available for those who make the switch. With a growing customer base in the U.S. Northeast and an expansion to the Mountain West and beyond, Dandelion Energy is leading the way toward geothermal energy for all.
