Jim Risch: “I think everyone shares the objectives that Senator Feingold stated, and that is to prevent proliferation.”

The CLEAN Act requires annual geothermal lease sales, cutting red tape and offering more efficient and responsible opportunities to access this natural resource.

I urge the Senate to pass them quickly so these treasured resources can continue serving Idahoans for generations to come.

“Idaho is the greatest state in the nation because of the outstanding people who call it home,” said Risch.

Idaho has long benefited from our abundant natural geothermal resources, and there is great potential to ramp up the production of this reliable energy to power our communities.
