Puberty begins and ends over a relatively long time - some children start puberty as early as nine years and some are still developing in their early 20s. But more typically puberty for boys begins from 11 to 14 and progresses through the late teens.
The initial costs of geothermal energy are high -- wells can cost $1 to $4 million each to drill, and installation of a home geothermal pump system can run as much as $30,000 [sources: REPP, Consumer Energy Center ].owever, a home geothermal energy pump can cut energy bills by 30 to 40 percent and will pay for itself within 5 to 10 years [source: Consumer Energy Center ]. Geothermal energy is considered renewable because the heat is continually replaced.
1 Complete installation of a geothermal heat pump (ground-source or water-source) can cost $10,000-$25,000 or more, depending on the length and depth of the underground pipes, soil conditions and other excavation and installation factors. Expect to pay about $2,000-$8,000 for installation of a whole-house air-source heat pump system in an average home (three-ton capacity) with existing usable ductwork. 2  The total costs can double or triple to $4,000-$24,000 or more if new ductwork must be installed or failing ductwork must be replaced.
