Not only do geothermal resources in the United States offer great potential, they can also provide continuous baseload electricity.
In thousands of homes and buildings across the United States, geothermal heat pumps also use the steady temperatures just underground to heat and cool buildings, cleanly and inexpensively.
This heat energy, known as geothermal energy, can be found almost anywhere—as far away as remote deep wells in Indonesia and as close as the dirt in our backyards.
Heat from the earth can be used as an energy source in many ways, from large and complex power stations to small and relatively simple pumping systems.
California's Salton Sea offers 1,800 MW of geothermal potential
A National Renewable Energy Laboratory study finds that the Salton Sea's potential geothermal baseload generation can serve California, Arizona and Nevada's renewables mandates.
