Saipan seeks help from Murkowski on $100M interest-free loan to help geothermal exploration
Gov. Benigno R. Fitial said he is seeking the help of Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) to secure a $100 million interest-free loan from the U.S. Department of Energy in line with the administration's focus on geothermal energy production.
The government has yet to award a contract to a firm that will investigate the viability of tapping geothermal power on Saipan.
