Why should state energy agencies support the development of geothermal resources?
State energy agencies — regulatory agencies, energy offices, geological surveys, and public service commissions — in the 19 GPW states were asked to select the top three most important issues regarding geothermal development in their states.
The following are the results of this informal survey. Issues are listed in order of priority, from the most important to the less important.
1 New direct and indirect jobs created
2 Reduced consumption of fossil fuels and their production of greenhouse gas emissions
3 Displaced emission to the atmosphere of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter
4 Expanded tax base resulting in more tax dollars
Reduced energy costs in rural areas; in urban areas
5 Revenue from the sale of heat, electricity, or other products
Reduced local atmospheric pollution
Expanded rural economies
6 Clean, low risk, lost cost source of energy
Increased energy self-sufficiency and energy security

We should use more geothermal energy sources because our economy has grown substantially faster than our energy use. Examples hot dry rock geothermal energy is a renewable energy.
It efficiency to combat global warming.

It is a renewable energy source.
It also doesn't create any harmful emissions.
