GRC Member Addresses Congressional Audience on Geothermal Energy (ESD/LBNL)

Last Wednesday, GRC member Pat Dobson of the Earth Sciences Division (ESD) of the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, was one of three speakers on the topic of “Geothermal Energy Transformations: Nationwide Resources and Value Chains,” as part of the Energy from the Earth Briefing Series in Washington D.C.

These presentations were the second part of a series of talks hosted by a number of U.S. scientific agencies (including the National Science Foundation, the American Geophysical Union, the Geological Society of America, and several other U.S. geological professional societies).

The presentations were intended to provide Congressional staff members with information essential for developing effective Federal energy and environmental policy-making and legislation.

Presentations:

• Moderator Presentation by Doug Hollett
