. . .  SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS Electric Generation Potential • Top 3 States: – Nevada – California – Utah • Other High Potential States: – Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Hawaii, New Mexico, Oregon, and Wyoming Geothermal Energy Potential Page 28 WORKSHOP ON SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS Geothermal Basics Geothermal energy uses the Earth’s natural heat for some useful purpose. Because the center of the Earth is so hot, almost any location could provide energy if we drill deep enough, but there are only limited locations where hot rock comes near enough the surface for this to be economical.  . . .
