Reno tops at geothermal energy production

Regular readers know that I often post the lists on which Reno, Nevada appears. For example:

• Reno, Nevada one of America’s best cities
• Which metro areas have seen the largest drop in home prices?
• The best and worst house markets in the country – which list did Reno make?
• Reno’s cost of business ranks comparatively good

Today, I share a link to a list that I have not seen before. One that is global in scope, and one on which Nevada and Reno rank at the top. The list? Geothermal energy production.

Check out this article, 5 Cities Harnessing Breakthrough Geothermal Technology, and you’ll learn, for example, that:

• “Nevada is ranked number one in the nation when it comes to installed geothermal energy capacity on a per person basis, and it has the largest amount of untapped geothermal resources in the United States.”
• “The City of Reno boasts a whopping 100 megawatts of power, enough to supply the entire residential load of the city, permitted and produced within the city limits.”
