Inlaws judge myself and others for using traditional HVAC instead of geothermal

I try really tough to fit in with my fiance’s family, and please don’t get myself and others wrong, I guess that they are delightful human beings. However, they are a bit uppity and tough to deal with, however for as long as I can remember, they have been trying to deter his from having children with me. They say that if both of us have adolescents it’s a lifelong commitment to each other. I already thought both of us made a lifelong commitment on the day that both of us got married. However, they are convinced that there is a better match on the market for my fiance. Specifically, when they are talking about the indoor air handling equipment market. You see, my in-laws are a bit obsessed with being eco-friendly. This pertains to all areas of their lives, from their cars to their heating and cooling devices. They refuse to use any indoor air handling system that is not incredibly energy efficient. They want to reduce their carbon footprint more than anything on this planet. I understand that they are distraught for the global climates and they want us to have eco-friendly solutions in our apartment whenever possible. That being said, I cannot afford the heating and cooling devices that they prefer. When they upgraded their forced air oil furnace and equipment they opted for a geothermal heat pump. This way, they could rely on the passive energy transport between the Earth’s crust and their apartment without relying on any outside source of energy. I guess it’s good so that they have a neutral carbon footprint. However, I cannot afford a geothermal heat pump… And it will not work for us living in the Deep South, anyways.
