Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The West has the most promising potential for increased use of geothermal energy due to the large concentration of geological features such as hot springs, geysers, and volcanoes. These natural features indicate the presence of high-temperature geothermal reservoirs and make it easier to access them for energy extraction. Additionally, several western states including California, Nevada, and Oregon are already leaders in geothermal energy production.
