Special Note: Due to Hurrican Wilma we were offline for 2 days. We're back up! Look for the updates concerning all your Geothermal Heating and Cooling news! 

If you are as concerned about rising fuel costs as much as we are, then I think you've come to the right place to learn about alternative heating/cooling solutions. Although high gas and oil prices are coming down the pipeline due to unforseen natural disasters and world events, there is always an alternative way to save money by using what is already under us to heat and cool your home or business. This is the beauty of-

Geo Thermal Heating and Cooling! By utilizing Geothermal Heating Systems - heat pumps and condensors, you can actually draw out energy from the earth to fuel your heating and cooling needs for your home or business. Not only is this environmentally sound, but the cost savings impact is huge. Please read the articles found on this website to gain a greater understanding of what is geo thermal heating and cooling, and what kind of unique solutions fit your project. This technology has been around for a long time, and only now has it started to catch fire due to rising fuel costs. Sure, you can't fuel your car or bike, YET, with the power of the earth (besides solar power), but the technology exists today for your home or business!

SINGAPORE : With world oil prices now hovering around US$65 per barrel, more countries are beginning to worry about long-term energy security.

At a forum at the Global Entrepolis, some industry watchers said another oil crunch could come when the world starts scrambling for fast-depleting oil resources.

And that could push oil prices past US$100 per barrel.

Peter Cockcroft, Visiting Research Fellow, Institute of East Asian Studies, said: "There's a long term demand increase. Frankly, we are not finding enough oil to replace the oil that we are consuming now. The cost of finding new oil is going to be a lot higher than previously. I think we are going to have demand, consumer demand for the barrel of oil. I believe that in the next decade, they will look back and see that today's price in the US$60 range was very cheap."

Another speaker pointed to a possible challenge from India to Singapore's position as a regional refining hub.

Dave Ernsberger, Editorial Director, Platts - Asia, said: "The rise of India as a major oil power is different from the rise of China. India's oil demand is not growing the way China's oil demand is growing. So, India is investing heavily, probably in some ways, even more successfully than China is, in things like refining capacity. What that means for the region here is that it is emerging as a competitor in some ways, with the swing producing countries here, Singapore actually." -
