The development of geothermal resources in the U. S. is impeded by the Federal tax policies that exist. The present state of tax rules governing utilization of geothermal energy, certain proposed changes in tax laws which would, if enacted, inhibit utilization of geothermal energy, and changes in present tax rules that would encourage utilization of geothermal energy are discussed. A statement by the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand is expanded. The accountants in the firm are the most knowledgable in the U. S. on geothermal energy matters, representing firms that have established commercial geothermal production, selling the product, and developing additional markets. (MCW)
