Thermal Energy Networks: The Renewable, Affordable, Healthy Alternative to Gas Heating

Thermal energy networks can drive a rapid and just transition away from fracked gas. The same union labor that builds gas pipelines is needed for thermal energy network construction, thus, generating thousands of good, new union jobs.

While investor-owned utilities can develop and own thermal energy networks, they won’t have a monopoly: municipalities, community groups, and housing co-ops can also create and own them, eliminating the profits that make up around 10% of utility bills.

Sane Energy’s Thermal Energy Networks Working Group is committed to accelerating the development of fossil-free thermal energy networks (TENS) and large-scale geothermal systems for heating and cooling that are owned by municipalities and co-ops, not by profiteering utilities.

At our zoom meeting this Thursday, November 20, at 7 pm, we’ll have a presentation by Drew Maggio about using MTA stations as a source for heat, and then discuss our campaign for geothermal in public schools in the Mamdani era.
