Geothermal resources of southern Idaho

Conference · · Trans. - Geotherm. Resour. Counc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6167898
The geothermal resource of southern Idaho is large - perhaps the largest of any state. However, most of the energy in hydrothermal convection systems is at temperatures below 150/sup 0/C, and no system with temperatures above 171/sup 0/C have been found. Geological, geochemical, and geophysical data indicate several areas that are particularly promising for the occurrence of high-temperature systems. These include the margins of the Snake River Plain, the Weiser area, Island Park, and the Blackfoot lava field.
