Pitfalls to Avoid in Developing Geothermal

  • Engage the tribes at the beginning, especially the elders
  • Don’t rely on old geologic data
  • Fully evaluate and consider surface and near surface water impacts
  • Don’t oversell geothermal in terms of production or cleanliness
  • Recognize that the technology is not standardized
  • Commit to a closed-loop system
