A nationwide assessment of geothermal resources less than or equal to 90/sup 0/C has recently been completed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Estimates were obtained of accessible resource base, resource, and beneficial heat for 1145 identified low-temperature reservoirs occurring in hydrothermal convection systems and conduction-dominated systems. For identified systems, the nationwide total of thermal energy recoverable at the wellhead (resource) is estimated to be 82 X 10/sup 18/ J, from which a total beneficial heat of 39,000 MW /SUB t/ for 30 years could be obtained.
