University of Toronto physicist G. D. Garland told a Royal Society of Canada energy symposium that geothermal energy from subterranean steam and hot water offers strong development prospects. He cited British Columbia sites Mount Edziza and Mount Aiyansh as likely power locations and noted geothermal plants avoid large dams and regional environmental risks, though trapping structures limit prospects to certain volcanic formations.
