I actually used to work for the company doing the drilling.  A job like that will take 100 to 150 wells.  They do residential to.  It's quite expensive to get a geothermal system in a residential property, that's why a lot of people are not doing it yet, but it does pay off rather quickly.

OPS isn't any good at integration, so while this sounds like a really bad plan since the races would be basicly split up, I think it would do a lot of good because it would give control to the local areas to do what they think is best.

Why would you have the NU at CU series anywhere but Rosenblatt? It's a huge money maker, and if Creighton can make some noise in the post season then maybe they could get a lot of the bandwagon fans that are "Husker Baseball Fans" right now.

No doubt, you'll have much better luck (in most cases, your only luck) in negotiating that lower commission if the agent represents both the buyer and seller. That's really the only chance you have of actually getting your low fee through a 'flat fee' broker. As it happens, this often results in th...
