true, Fun fact Only 14.1% of Nevada is Private property.... the Rest is BLM, Federal lands and Naval bombing sites and area 51 type places... I have heard from friends that Geothermal testing is picking up as well in the hopes of becoming a large power generator for the state.

I really hope the things I'm reading about new geothermal plant tech are true.

Do you have any literature or articles you've seen that are particularly interesting? I haven't really seen anything new from that sector in a while

Fracking for geothermal energy is interesting. On mobile, no links on hand.

Very cool, I'd be interested to see whether they have the same issues with localized seismic activity and sinkholes etc, but still could be very promising
