That is very cool. So if the capacity of the under ground to extract heat from the underground, is something that can diminish on a decades level timescale, what does that say about the longevity of ground source heat pumps I wonder?

It depends on the composition of the ground and how heat pumps are used. In places like Canada with wild temperature variations over the course of the year heatpumps have the potential to be used as both a means to cool buildings in the summer, and then heat them in the winter with that stored heat.
