According to 30 USCS ยง 1102 (1), the term geothermal resources means "(A) all products of geothermal processes, embracing indigenous steam, hot water, and brines, (B) steam and other gases, hot water and hot brines, resulting from water, gas, or other fluids artificially introduced into geothermal formations, and © any byproduct derived from them."
Who gets that money? I am getting busy today but later I ready want to research what are some of the more important substances that can be had from the gases, hot water and brines.
remember geothermal sources is very different from geothermal resources.
The correct question is, "Who pays for that money?"
It is the consumer, the taxpayer.
If this democratic/socialist state would stop trying to tax anything and everything, the consumer/taxpayer would be much better off.
