The
majority of geothermal energy growth
occurred prior to 1990. In recent years,
the growth of geothermal capacity in the
U.S. has lagged that of solar and wind
energy. The purpose of the Blue Ribbon
Panel meeting was to identify the
obstacles to geothermal energy growth,
discuss the appropriate role of DOE in
enabling geothermal energy, and
recommend priority research and
development areas. The 15 panelists
included experts from the geothermal
and oil/gas industries, finance
institutions, utilities, universities, and
national laboratories.
This notice requests public comment
on the recommendations and
discussions captured in the Geothermal
