USA, Montana:

New Report Issued on the Benefits of Geothermal Use in Montana
Bob Lawrence & Associates, Inc., in partnership with the Geo-Heat Center of the Oregon Institute of Technology, announces the release of a report entitled  "The Economic, Environmental, and Social Benefits of Geothermal Use in Montana (PDF)."

Montana has a long and rich history of geothermal use. Today, the documented direct uses of geothermal waters are related to tourism and recreation, spas and resorts, space heating, and greenhouse heating.

Montana has significant geothermal potential for future uses, from new applications of direct use heating, to resurgence in mineral spa therapy, to
development of low‐to‐moderate temperature resources for electrical power generation.
