ABSTRACT
Nevadahas extensivegeothermalresources;approximately
216 MW (net) of geothermally generated electricity are pro-
duced and low to moderate temperature geothermal fluids are
used for space heating and in vegetable dehydration.There is
great potential for more use of geothermalresources in all the
above categories as well as industrial processing and mineral
