Geothermal Energy exists

Geothermal energy potential in United States Based on our research for Google.org The energy below the United States is 10 times the installed capacity of coal-fired power plants

Geothermal energy potential in Texas alone … Research by Bruce Cutright of UT Austin, BEG: A "Giant" oil field contains > 500 million barrels of oil. World-wide there are 932 fields. Convert that to Joules for power comparison … The Texas Gulf Coast = 3,100 "Giants" in stored thermal energy. Companies are working today to extract the hot brine & dissolved methane!

Temperature Maps km (21,000 ft)

SMU Corrected temperatures Temperature from oil/gas wells Blackwell, Richards and Stepp, SECO Geothermal Report

Barnett Shale is ~ 5,000 to 8,500 ft Ellenburger formation is below with bottom depths to ~13,000 ft The hottest well recorded is 23,800 ft, east of Victoria, TX How deep is the Barnett Shale?

Why Consider Geothermal Energy? 1. Geothermal is Reliable Power 2. Geothermal heat pumps Reduce Power Plant Loads 3. Geothermal energy promotes National Security 4. Geothermal energy is Environmentally Friendly 5. Geothermal equipment is Small in Footprint size 6. Geothermal supports Local Economic Development and Job Creation 7. Geothermal is Versatile (heat pumps to power plants) 8. Geothermal can Overlap with other resources 9. Geothermal Energy is Widely Available 10. Geothermal products increase U.S. Exports Market

United States leads in Geothermal Power Production  Over 3,400 MW in US; 124 projects in development  Over 12,000 MW world-wide; 700 projects in development  76 countries use geothermal power! Geothermal Energy Association, 2014 statistics and chart

Geothermal Energy is a long-term Solution

Geothermal Energy is available today

Afternoon Session will cover… 1.Geothermal Heat Pumps for homes and business 2.Conversion of oil and gas wells to geothermal production 3.Where the hottest resources are in Texas 4.Current available technologies for Geothermal and Waste Heat to Power
