What is GeoPowering the West?
• An outreach effort with state and local emphasis to increase the use of geothermal energy across the West
• Activities that focus on institutional and other non-technical barriers to geothermal development
• A complement to the R&D activities of the DOE Geothermal Technologies Program
• A collaboration of stakeholders that supports a vision for dramatically expanded use of geothermal energy

GeoPowering the West has goals to:
• Double the number of states, from 4 to 8, with geothermal electric power production facilities by 2006 and
• Supply the electrical power or heat of 7 million homes and businesses in the U.S. by 2015
