INTRODUCTION For a century, Texas has been a leading energy producing state. Its abundance of oil and gas has sparked an energy industry unlike that of any other state. Sherk (1982) stated, “To say that the State of Texas is rich in energy resources is roughly akin to saying that the sky is blue or the ocean is wet.” Time has indeed demonstrated Texas is incredibly rich in both conventional and alternative energy resources. Geothermal resources in Texas are becoming increasingly viable. Since 1982 when Sherk made this statement, there have been advances in the geothermal and oil and gas industries which increase the compatibility of these industries. In fact, from the vast number of wells drilled since 1980, Texas now has 200,000 more reasons to develop geothermal energy1. Today the population of Texas is growing at a rate of 16% creating a need for new sources of power2. This need has been reinforced by the rolling blackouts of 2007 and the request by TXU to build 13 new coal power plants in 20063. With the development of geothermal energy power plants, the additional baseload renewable energy can help meet these ever increasing energy demands. In addition, increasing concern over air quality in Texas cities has resulted in a greater focus on alternative energy resources. Texas has shown leadership in renewable energy with its Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). The 2005 RPS increase from 2,000 MW to 5,880 MW stimulated a historic explosion of wind energy development, and Texas is now the largest developer of wind energy in the United States4. The goal for more renewable energy motivated this resource evaluation of geothermal energy as a source of electrical production. Geothermal energy is a baseload renewable resource with a consistent capacity to compete with nuclear, natural gas, and coal power plants. Existing technology allows it to be scalable and configured either as a distributed or centralized energy source. Making it local and capable of being installed inside population centers. It utilizes the current knowledge base of the oil and gas 1 http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/ 2 http://quickfacts.census.gov 3 Dallas Morning News, September 01, 2006 4 http://www.seco.cpa.state.tx.us/re_wind.htm 5PDF Image | Texas Geothermal Assessment for the I35 Corridor East
