| Abstract | Hydrothermal energy is available for direct use at nearby market areas in Colorado. Furthermore, interest in using the energy is high. But development of geothermal energy for direct us is minimal except where federal grants have been awarded. Incentives effective in encouraging either users or small business to develop the energy are different from those effective with well financed established energy companies. With incentive designed to fit the situation, the geothermal frontier in Colorado can be significantly expanded. |
