An overview of geothermal energy
Geothermal Energy in Pacific Latin America
Because of the region's large amount of volcanism, potential large-scale development of renewable geothermal energy technology in Latin America is very large. The region is a leader in research and development and implementation of such technology, as well as a great testament to the ability of developing nations to support renewable energy development.The following reports, published by the Geothermal Resource Council in 2003, summarize current projects in the region and are great starting points for research and information.

For further information on specific countries, I recommend checking out the International Geothermal Association's page about the Carribean and Latin America.

 This site is a good resource for anyone trying to teach geothermal ideas to anyone else, especially K-12 grades. |
This is a
fantastic resource for everything geothermal: included are an excellent
links page, a virtual tour of a geothermal plant, workshop and
conference announcements, publication lists, an extensive searchable
geothermal library, and much more. |

International Geothermal Association
The IGA
keeps a very well updated site which summarizes worldwide use of
geothermal energy use and development. Included are sections
specific to Central and South America, as well as links to journals
which publish geothermal information. |
World Energy Council, Geothermal Page This page has a great overview of different geothermal systems and basic of geothermal energy. The WEC also has great information about other energy production methods and resources as well. |
