Feds consider geothermal leases near Mount Baker

#Energy

The U.S. Forest Service is considering whether to lease parts of forest lands around Mount Baker so that companies could explore tapping the heat below the Earth's surface to generate electricity. At least one company has expressed interest in 2013 in leasing about 22 square miles of federal land near the active volcano in northwest Washington for geothermal exploration.
