Extending cost-benefit analysis for energy investment choices

TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that important subjective judgments should be made by the ultimate (political) decision maker, and not by the analyst, and proposed that CBA should be extended from the single economic dimension to include three others, environmental, technical and the analysis of risk.

Geothermal energy: Non-electric potential in the USA

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the energy market potential of non-electric uses of hydrothermal geothermal in the USA during the period 1985-1995 and developed a generalized pricing model for estimating a future delivered price of geothermal energy for a wide range of uses.

Assessment of geothermal resources of the United States: 1978

TL;DR: The geothermal resource assessment presented is a refinement and updating of USGS Circular 726, and five categories of geothermal energy are discussed: conduction-dominated regimes, igneous-related geothermal systems, high-temperature (> 150/sup 0/C) and intermediate-tem temperature hydrothermal convection systems, and geopressured-geothermal energy.
