NEWS: Geothermal could offer New Mexico's Indigenous populations ‘enhanced energy sovereignty,’ state officials say.

The opportunity: Lawmakers want leaders of NM’s 23 tribes, nations, and pueblos to take advantage of the state’s estimated 163 GW of potential geothermal capacity.

One idea: These communities could pool resources and form their own geothermal development group. In doing so, they could generate their own electricity, sell surplus power, and help modernize the state's aging grid.
