VC funding announcements from Google spin-offs are not normally the kind of things that I find interesting, but Dandelion Energy's Raise is different. They're working on a problem that most of the market is just ignoring - homeowners want geothermal, HVAC contractors don't really care what homeowners want & lenders are mostly just out of the picture.
It seems that Pepco is attempting to stop DC's plan to ban natural gas from new construction. I'm not surprised, I'm angry.

Watched a Business Insider video about the https://welldonefoundation.org and was again so impressed by their work, but also I didn't realize the small number of well's they've capped; 21 out of around 1 million uncapped wells. There is so much to do.
