Researchers Seek Residents for Geothermal Focus Groups

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers are recruiting Churchill County residents to take part in a 2.5‑hour focus group on geothermal energy. Participants will receive a $100 Visa gift card, and dinner will be provided.

The sessions will gather public input on geothermal energy and ways to improve the siting and development process. Feedback will help inform recommendations for future geothermal development. No prior knowledge is required.

Focus groups will be held May 11 and May 12 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Churchill County Administrative Complex. Participants must be 18 or older, and advance registration is required. The study is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
