This blog http://northofthehotzone.com/ is aimed at providing information about the state of Washington's potential using geothermal energy. It explains that Washington State sits on the edge of the hot zone. There are 34 geothermal hot springs which would just begin to provide their geothermal potential. Even though Washington State has excellent potential, nothing had been planned or proposed when this blog was first created.

This blog could be beneficial because of its quantity of information on geothermal energy in general, not just specific to Washington State. It has wonderful maps, charts, and even a brochure explaining geothermal energy.

This blog has a plenitude of information available to those interested. It includes news articles, editorials, presentations, and even the Geothermal Study Bill from the Washington State Legislature. I enjoyed skimming the presentation given to the United States by the President of Iceland. It gave several benefits to geothermal energy. The United States is only using 12% of their total potential. This presentation also had wonderful maps and charts.

This blog had way more information that I ever wanted to know about geothermal energy. However, there is a great abundance of information if you are willing to search through and find it. I recommend starting with the "Start Here" links.
