What could real push a shift would be thermal longtime storage. Basically heatpump heating with a artificial heat stored underground in the summer.

If you could figure out a way to do this economically you could have a real winner. Ground source heat pumps already exist, but they're so expensive to install that they basically never make their cost back vs. air source heat pumps.
What geological impacts does heating the ground cause?
