Circular 80 — A Preliminary Report on New Mexico's Geothermal Energy

By W. K. Summers, 1965, 41 pages.

Geothermal power could become a potent economic force in New Mexico. The state has all the geologic characteristics associated with steam fields around the world, so it seems likely that several steam fields will be discovered in the state when ever the economic factors involved justify the exploration that is required.

Much remains to be learned about geothermal energy and its development. Research into various aspects of geothermal energy NOW is a must, if the resource is to be used to the best advantage of the state!
