Most U.S. geothermal reservoirs are located in the western United States, Hawaii, and Alaska, where the boundaries between massive plates in the Earth’s crust yield a concentration of geological activity.
Compared to other renewable energy sources, such as wind and biomass, electricity generation from geothermal resources in the United States is expected to grow very modestly over the next couple of decades. Conventional geothermal fields, which produce hot steam that can be used directly in turbines, have limited potential for expansion.
