Geothermal Energy:

Obstacles And Uncertainties

Impede Its Widespread Use




The Government has spent nearly half a bil-
lion dollars over the last 5 years for geo-
thermal energy development, but numerous
economic, technical, and other obstacles and
uncertainties have impeded development of
this source of energy from the Earth's natural
heat.
Program management has also slowed pro-
gress. The Department of Energy has not had
a formal mechanism for setting priorities
among projects. Both the Departments of
Energy and the Interior have been slow in is-
suing regulations to accelerate the develop-
ment and use of geothermal energy.

Some Federal actions have been taken to im-
provO the program, but much remains to be
done. This report makes several recommend-
ations for further improvements.
