Vote Yes on this bill if you want the federal government to invest in next-generation geothermal research, testing, public data sharing, and grants that could expand cleaner energy, create jobs, and improve energy reliability.

Organizations that support this bill may include geothermal energy companies, clean energy groups, universities, national laboratories, engineering firms, and businesses that want more federal research funding for new power technologies.

Vote No on this bill if you want to avoid new federal spending on geothermal projects, limit government involvement in energy development, or move more slowly on drilling and research with possible local environmental impacts.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include taxpayer watchdog groups, advocates of smaller federal spending, and local or environmental groups worried about drilling impacts, land use, or government picking energy winners.
