Abstract
The establishment of geothermal distribution systems may be an essential next step in the development of direct applications of geothermal energy,. One possibility is that existing utilities will play a major part in geothermal distribution. This paper reports the results of a study which surveyed gas and electric utilities on their probable role in direct heat applications.
