The British Columbia Resource Estimate Mapping Project has created a database that demonstrates BC as enough geothermal energy to power the entire province. However, this is based only on the shallowest studies of sedimentary zones where the data exists. It is well known that the extensive volcanic zones where data does not exist have much greater potential for geothermal power. So it is much more likely that geothermal potential of the Province could power not only the Province, but it could become an enormous exporter of clean and cheap electrical energy.
Geothermal electric power is the cheapest energy on the planet with the smallest footprint and runs 24 hours a day 7 days a week forever. It is not dependent on wind, sunshine or rainfall.
