Conventional Geothermal Power Generation

Currently, geothermal power generates a bit less than half a percent of our total electricity. The USGS does estimate that there could be up to 30 gigawatts of potential for conventional hydrothermal geothermal power plants in the US. Most of that is going to be lower temperature than what we've already tapped to date. And so when you think about what's needed for economy-wide decarbonization, where we have to decarbonize the entire electricity sector, we have to generate double the electricity we do today.
