renewable energy goals of 2020, they are revisiting this sector which promises to contribute electricity as a base-load power while severing dependence on foreign oil and gas. Frost & Sullivan expects the geothermal industry to steadily gather steam in the coming years, despite the current economic situation and restraining factors such as high initial investment costs.
