“Yesterday in Framingham, HEET's @zeynebmagavi joined @EversourceMA to engage middle school girls with #womeninscience. They learned about the groundbreaking #networkedgeothermal system near their school, a concept created by women at HEET! A great start to #WomensHistoryMonth.”
Ontario's Natural Gas giant @enbridgegas should be looking at ways to deliver clean heat to decarbonize and keep costs down for ratepayers.
I suggest partnering with @HEET_MA and #NetworkedGeothermal if they want to avoid the "death spiral"
