Geothermal Rising is the oldest geothermal association on Earth, formed in 1972, and serves as the main professional and educational association for the geothermal community and the public. They champion geothermal energy and those who make its use possible, aiming to raise awareness of Earth's most underutilized renewable energy source - the heat from within. With a diverse board of directors, Geothermal Rising is committed to a green future and collaborates with organizations like the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to assess the current state of the geothermal industry. Geothermal Rising's mission is to harness the power of the earth beneath our feet to generate electricity, heat and cool homes, and more. They believe that geothermal energy has the potential to decrease energy costs, increase efficiency, and help save the planet from the impacts of less efficient energy sources. With a global installed geothermal capacity of 15,854 MW and 94 U.S. geothermal power plants, Geothermal Rising is dedicated to promoting the use of geothermal energy worldwide.Generated from the website
