The feds require that the geothermal power be sold at the same cost as if it were created using fossil fuels to produce it. Sort of a Jones act for energy. Rob probably knows more of the details. Also, don't forget that there was a great environmental fight to stop geothermal energy from being exploited here 15 or so yeasrs ago. It isn't as clean and tidy as we are led to believe.
