New Mexico has huge potential for geothermal energy—what will it take to harness it?
A recent report estimates that New Mexico has the potential to produce substantial power from its geothermal resources. But what will it take to tap into this substantial energy source underneath our feet that could reduce emissions and curb climate change? Geothermal energy comes from deep within the Earth’s crust. … This heat is key for generating electricity – usually from tapping into a hot water aquifer – which can directly heat buildings or spin a turbine’s rotor. This process emits no pollutants and, unlike solar or wind, can be available around the clock.
