Development Scenarios for Geothermal Energy in the Caribbean

Abstract. Geothermal energy is the heat energy within the Earth, often manifested in geysers, hot springs and volcanoes. It offers an energy source that is far more efficient than fossil-fueled power generation, and it doesn''t emit greenhouse gases into the air. Geothermal energy can therefore be very useful in generating electricity however; it currently
