Experts from the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) will help the City of Driggs and Teton Valley Aquatics by analyzing previously collected data to determine whether there is a geothermal energy source near Driggs.
Driggs and TVA applied for assistance in analyzing information that was compiled by gas and oil companies from exploratory drilling that happened in Teton Valley in the 1970s. The goal is to verify the existence of a geothermal energy source in or near Driggs, where TVA hopes eventually to build an aquatic facility.
