Interest in Mount Spurr isn’t new. The state has held geothermal lease sales there since the ’80s.
But the resource has never been successfully harnessed or developed.
Step one is just locating it, said Steve Masterman, the director of the state’s Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys.
“First, you have to find the resource, he said. Understanding the geology is really a key part to that.”
The basic idea of geothermal is to harness the heat contained below the earth’s surface, in the form of steam and water. Geothermal’s a renewable resource, and like other renewables, can be used to heat homes or generate electricity.

Move over, Smokey Bear – the Ohio State Fairgrounds could soon be home to another, more historic icon.
A life-size sculpture of a prehistoric fish is planned for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources natural history area at the fairgrounds in Columbus.
The state’s Legislative Service Commission described Dunkleosteus terrelli as “an extinct species of arthrodire placoderm fish (armored, jawed fish) that lived in the seas that covered parts of Ohio during the Late Devonian period, about 359 million to 382 million years ago.”
It was the “largest aquatic predator of its time,” growing up to 20 feet long and weighing a ton, according to LSC.
