  |   Geothermal isn't a new idea, it has been around since 1904; the Larderello, Italy geothermal field is still alive and productive and is one of the best examples of renewability and sustainability. Geothermal is experiencing a resurgence as a vital clean energy source with improved technology, new construction, and renewed investor interest. In the US, Nevada has the second largest geothermal potential, which could provide 60% of the State's electricity, short term by 2015: 1,488 MW and long-term by 2025: 2,895 MW. This geothermal revolution could meet the energy needs of almost 2 million homes in Nevada. Today, there is over 10 GW of geothermal energy installed within 24 countries worldwide. This is projected to increase to 11 GW by 2010. The United States is one of the key countries in increasing geothermal growth and continues to be the global leader with about 3,000 MW installed or 30% of the world total generation. Currently, Nevada has over 16 power plants, with a nameplate capacity of approximately 333 MW of geothermal power. By December 31, 2009, NGP's Blue Mountain project is projected to be part of this power supply. Geothermal is not the future; geothermal is NOW! Benefits of Geothermal Power
