First Google.Org-Funded Geothermal Mapping Report Confirms Vast Coast-To-Coast Clean Energy Source

Caption

New research from SMU’s Geothermal Laboratory, funded by a grant from Google.org, documents significant geothermal resources across the United States capable of producing more than three million megawatts of green power – 10 times the installed capacity of coal power plants today. Sophisticated mapping produced from the research is viewable via Google Earth at www.google.org/egs.
