Plain-English Summary

The bill would support development of geothermal energy technology, which harnesses heat from deep within the Earth to generate electricity and heating, by funding research, removing regulatory barriers, and potentially offering tax incentives or grants to companies and projects that tap into this renewable energy source. This would affect energy companies, researchers, and communities looking to develop geothermal resources as an alternative to fossil fuels. The measure has been sent to multiple House committees to review different aspects including scientific research, natural resource management, and workforce training.
