7.5. How much money does the geothermal industry contribute to the U.S. economy? According to the GEA 2007 publication, A Handbook on the Externalities, Employment, and Economics of Geothermal Energy, if the U.S. develops 5,635 MW of new geothermal power capacity it will result in 23,949 full-time jobs/90,160 person*years of construction and manufacturing employment. In addition to this, it would create a 30 year economic output of almost $85 billion. For every dollar invested in geothermal energy, the resulting growth of output to the U.S. economy is $2.50.(12) This means that a geothermal investment of $400 million would result in a growth of output of $1 billion for the entire U.S. economy.(13) This growth of output often benefits rural areas with high unemployment rates and significant minority communities. In addition many geothermal firms develop geothermal projects overseas, and these technology export activities support the U.S. economy and balance of trade. 7.6. Arenít there hidden costs associated with energy development? Hidden costs, including land degradation, detrimental air emissions, forced extinction and destruction of animals and plants, and health impacts to humans, are virtually nonexistent with geothermal energy production. In contrast, a 1995 study estimates that costs of power generation would increase 17% for natural gas and 25% for coal if hidden costs such as environmental impacts were included.(14) Geothermal incurs none of these hidden costs because air emissions and other environmental impacts are minimal. Instead of hidden costs, geothermal energy often has unrecognized benefits. 7.7. Where can I learn more about the economics of geothermal energy? You can find out more about the economics of geothermal energy by viewing the GEA report, A Handbook on the Externalities, Employment, and Economics of Geothermal Energy (October 2006). 39PDF Image | Geothermal 101
