Geothermal exploration hike urged by WEST group
WEST Associates, a coalition of 28 Western utility firms, urged aggressive geothermal exploration to power generation. The group proposed amendments to the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 and advocated permitting exploration on public lands until drilling proves a geothermal well exists. Arizona members Arizona Public Service Salt River Project and Tucson Gas & Electric help finance the state’s first geothermal well near Chandler, which has yielded superheated water but whose extent is undetermined.
