Federal Agencies Move to Ease Development of Geothermal Energy and Increase Power Generation

Potential for ten-fold increase in geothermal power-generation capacity on federal lands

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management today published the record of decision and approved resource management plan amendments for geothermal leasing in the western United States to make more than 190 million acres of federal lands available for leasing and potential development of geothermal energy resources.

The final programmatic environmental impact statement is online at http://www.blm.gov/Geothermal_EIS

 

Just maybe our new President will make the Land Management Bureau start moving faster.
