In Beaver County, Utah, a 38-megawatt power plant surrounded by bubbling mud pools and hissing steam vents has generated electricity for nearly 40 years using underground hot-water reservoirs. Most of America’s existing geothermal plants operate in similar ways: by tapping into heat sources that lie relatively close to the surface.
