Geothermal is a clean, abundant, and dependable energy resource that can help meet America’s rapidly rising power demands.

However, the lack of consistent geothermal lease sales and the slow federal permitting process result in timelines longer than many other energy projects.

The reason for the lack of support has been because about 85% of the +/- $1.5 trillion in spending has been ear-marked for the SNAP (food-stamps) program.

I look forward to an engaging discussion about the issues that matter most to the people of Idaho.
