Document summary

This report examines the tremendous potential of geothermal energy in the USA. After looking at the production potential, the report also estimates the investment requirement. Geothermal electricity sales could grow from USD 1.8 billion to USD 11 billion over 10 years, "without taking into consideration the vast opportunities for the development of geothermal direct use applications, e.g. geothermal heat pumps".

The report concludes with observations on the need for training and education to avoid development bottlenecks due to human resource constraints.
