Geothermal power projects are developing quickly across the country, with Utah playing a role.
A report released Thursday by the Geothermal Energy Association shows that the number of new geothermal projects under way in the United States grew 20 percent since January.
"These new projects will result in the infusion of roughly $15 billion in capital investment in the Western states and create 7,000 permanent jobs and more than 25,000 person-years of construction and manufacturing employment," Karl Gawell, the association's executive director, said in announcing the report's results.
