Groundsource Heat Pumps is a kind of renewable energy

Okay, so I just finished reading this article, which claims that groundsource heatpumps are a type of renewable energy. I cannot say that I totally agree with the author's assertion. But I will tell you his premise.

The author was totally true in his position that a groundsource heatpump is much more energy efficient than a standard one is. See, a groundsource heatpump relies on the fact that the temperature about six feet down remains a rather constant temperature of fifty-five degrees fahrenheit. They are much more efficient than either standard heatpumps or air conditioners are.

That is because a standard heatpump or air conditioners rely on the ambient air for their heat exchangers. As one should be able to discern from this fact if you were to take Phoenix, AZ for instance where the temperature is routinely over 100 degrees fahrenheit, a groundsource heat pump in this instance would be relying on the constant fifty five degrees; something which is greatly easier to cool than the 100 plus degrees.

But, I said at the outset of this article, I do not consider geothermal (groundsource) to be entirely renewable. This owes to the fact if the temperature of the ground should ever heat up, there would be no way for us to cool it down. And of course he is absolutely correct in his assertion that a groundsource heatpump uses less energy than standard units do, which in turn leads to a lower power bill for the end user; but this also ultimately leads to less pollution which is made to make this energy!
