Abstract
In Chaffee County Colorado, residents and visitors alike have long taken advantage of the natural hot springs generated by thermal anomalies deep underground.  Soon, this same heat may be tapped to provide energy for the local community. Here, and across Colorado, geothermal is the focus of renewed attention and funding, with $7.7 million awarded for geothermal technology from the Colorado Energy Office, and further private investment.  This project in Chaffee County was highlighted last week in an article from the Colorado Sun, noting the investment of Icelandic companies.
