Geothermal Energy Could Surpass Petroleum by 2000
Washington reports a Senate Interior Committee study says geothermal power could reach 132 megawatts by 1985 and 395 megawatts by 2000, potentially cheaper and cleaner than fossil fuels. The Geysers field near San Francisco currently produces 294 megawatts, with a second California field planned in Imperial Valley. The report argues widespread geothermal use, aided by a proposed $20 billion energy program, could reshape U.S. energy supply and support desalination, heating, and mineral extraction.
