What type of geothermal plan does the BLM have?
The BLM in Oregon and Washington has a geothermal program. In 2007, four leases were issued covering 2,510 acres. The Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 provides the Secretary of the Interior with the authority to lease public lands and other federal lands, including National Forest lands, for geothermal exploration and development in an environmentally sound manner.
