Question:
Does the U.S. produce any power using natural steam energy?
Answer:
Yes, but not very much. In 1995, power produced by using the earth's steam, called geothermal power, totaled about 6,100 gigawatt hours, which is about 0.2-percent of the Nation's total power production. Only about 59 million gallons per day of water was used in this process.
Iceland makes great use of its geothermal resources.
