 In Canada, the geothermal industry has yet to gain traction despite having world class resources.

Geothermal is the cleanest source of electricity & heat, using less land and producing fewer emissions than any other energy source

Geothermal power is price competitive, and often lower, than other renewables and even fossil fuel alternatives

Geothermal power projects create significantly more jobs than comparable natural gas fired power plants

Geothermal power is the only renewable base-load option; it also has even higher capacity factors than coal, natural gas, nuclear, and large hydro

Geothermal power facilities produce useful by-product heat that can be integrated with greenhouses, fish farms, and food processing; you can also directly drill for heat

Geothermal can provide electricity, heat, and food security to Canada's northern and remote communities at a far lower cost than fossil fuels

Geothermal resources are found right across the country, especially in Western and Northern Canada. 

Geothermal power plants provide long term cost certainty which helps stabilize electricity rates, providing an important protection for consumers

With proper heat reservoir management, geothermal resources will never run out; geothermal power plants can run indefinitely
