New projects and streamlined processes pave the way for a clean energy future and carbon-free power.
The Department of the Interior announced progress in expanding geothermal energy on public lands, part of the administration’s goal of a carbon-free power sector by 2035. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently approved the Fervo Cape Geothermal Power Project in Utah, which could generate up to two gigawatts of clean energy, potentially powering over 2 million homes. In total, the bureau has approved nearly 32 gigawatts of clean energy projects on public lands, with 42 projects receiving authorization.
“Geothermal energy is one of our greatest untapped clean energy resources on public lands… to create jobs, economic growth, and clean carbon-free electricity for communities throughout the West,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Steve Feldgus of the Office of Land and Minerals Management.
Geothermal energy comes from heat deep within the earth and provides a low-emission solution for generating electricity, heating buildings, and supporting various industries.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Feldgus to receive God’s direction as he supports the development of geothermal enery.
- For Interior Secretary Haaland and other department officials as they collaborate on clean energy initiatives.
