The accomplishments of the various elements of the geothermal research and development program of the Department of Energy during 1988 are outlined. I t is noted that research advances will help to place the geothermal industry i n a better technical position to meet the challenges of an increased energy demand i n the 199O's, as predicted by DOE. Recent federal technology transfer initiatives are identified and preliminary results of an analysis of all energy sources i n the U.S. vis-a-vis geothermal's ranking in the total energy resource base, the accessible resource base, and energy reserves are presented.
