Puerto Rico would get detailed studies to find new energy sources.
This bill would require the U.S. government to conduct in-depth studies on geothermal energy potential in Puerto Rico. These studies would help the island explore new energy options and understand environmental risks, moving beyond general assessments. Federal agencies would work closely with Puerto Rico officials and local universities on these efforts.
Currently, Puerto Rico is included in general geothermal energy studies by the U.S. government. This bill would change that by requiring specific, in-depth studies focused only on Puerto Rico, including detailed environmental and seismic risk assessments. These new studies would provide a much more thorough understanding of the island's geothermal potential and associated risks.
