'green' fireplaces...is there such a thing?

I have a small 200sq/ft room that I'm renovating with no current heat source and I wonder if there is such a thing as a 'green' fireplace which would be able to heat the room in the winter.
The room will be primarily windows (floor to ceiling) on 3 sides, triple pane for efficiency.
Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.

Precedents for block-wide homeowners converting to geoexchange systems

Now that we've learned the first steps for a geoexchange system, we are actually thinking of inviting our block over for tea and seeing if people are interested in converting the whole street to geothermal. What are the precidents for this and is there any special support for this?
