Elected to not fill in "Energy used for heating buildings, by source"....
It is a particularly tricky energy modeling problem to disaggregate bulk fuel records into the many different possible end-uses (i.e. electricity in a building could be used for heating as well as lighting, plug-loads, cooling, etc., or propane for cooking, DHW, etc)... to draw out just the heating portion requires either many-leveled submetering, or rigorous baselining combined with many assumptions. Moreover, unless the credit is referring to "true" geothermal (tapping high-temp heat reservoirs deep in the earth), the more common definition of geothermal (heat-exchange using ground-source heat pumps) would also be electric, and included with other electric heat sources (e.g. baseboard, air-source heat pumps).
