We’ve written several times about Chena Hot Springs in Alaska and the small-scale (400kw) geothermal electricity project going on there. Recently, Popular Mechanics called on the resort and wrote a great article about how the geothermal system works for HVAC in extreme temperatures and is used in horticulture. Chena is not just a resort, it’s an innovation ecosystem around the uses of geothermal resource. The images below are part of the story, there’s much, much more content there, we encourage you to visit and read the whole story.
