Description (excerpt):

New Mexico’s combination of abundant subsurface heat, technical expertise from the oil and gas and geothermal industries, and support from political leaders make the state well suited to exponentially grow its geothermal development. It has the potential to produce 163 gigawatts of geothermal power, more than 15 times the state’s installed capacity in 2023.
