Geothermal infrastructure could surpass solar and wind in job creation, if the right policies are put in place. According to Bryant Jones, Executive Director of Geothermal Rising, geothermal development generates 34 jobs per megawatt installed, compared with just 19 for wind and 12 for solar. This represents a significant opportunity to reuse the existing workforce in the oil and gas sector for positions such as reservoir managers and drilling operators.
