GEOTHERMAL CHAPTER 3 Geothermal at Work around the Globe So far, the U.S. produces more electricity from geothermal energy than does any other country. Four states have geothermal power plants. California has the most, followed by Nevada, Utah, and Hawaii — and more are planned in these states and in Idaho. The U.S. Department of Energy’s “GeoPowering the West” program seeks to expand the use of geothermal resources in 19 western states. U.S. plant types vary widely. One little 300kW geothermal power- house in northern California runs all by itself and automatically radios an operator when it needs maintenance. At one of Nevada’s geothermal plants, the heat from geothermal water is used to dry onions and garlic before it is injected back into the reservoir. Hawaii’s geothermal plants provide over 20 percent of the electricity used on the Big Island. And the world’s largest single geothermal power plant, 185MW, is nearing construction near southern California’s Salton Sea. The Philippines and Indonesia have abundant geothermal resources. Geothermal generates about one-fourth of the electricity in the Philippines, making this country the second largest user of geothermal electricity in the world (after the United States). Italy was the site of the first geothermal power development. Its beautiful dry steam field of Larderello, developed in 1904, is still generating electricity today. Other places with large geothermal power developments include Mexico, Iceland, New Zealand, Japan, and several Central American countries. “THE GEYSERS” Ageothermal area in northern California is named “The Geysers” (even though it has never had any geysers — only fumaroles). It once was the site of a famous resort — attracting the likes of Jack London and Teddy Roosevelt. Today it is the world’s largest single source of geothermal electrical power. Even its reservoir is unique, being one of the few in the world to produce steam (rather than mostly water). After over 40 years, The Geysers’ 21 power plants still reliably generate enough electricity to power a city the size of San Francisco — about 900 MW. To top it off, cities in Lake and Sonoma Counties are piping their cleaned wastewater many miles to The Geysers and injecting it deep into the geothermal reservoir. Doing so is helping to sustain the productive life of the reservoir for electicity production and is providing an environmentally safe way to dispose of wastewater.
