Some moderately hot geothermal resources also exist in the Dakotas, along the Atlantic coast, and in Arkansas and Texas. Someday we may be able to use these resource too. Most geothermal energy is produced in four states--California, Nevada, Utah, and Hawaii.
Hot water or steam from below ground can also be used to make electricity in a geothermal power plant. In California, there are 14 areas where we use geothermal energy to make electricity. The red areas on the map show where there are known geothermal areas. Some are not used yet because the resource is too small, too isolated or the water temperatures are not hot enough to make electricity.
