Welcome to the new Geothermal Rising website!
Over the last year, we have worked tirelessly with our partners at Taoti Creative to retire the old Geothermal Resources Council brand, create and launch our beautiful new brand, and are now excited to present the revamped website.

I don’t think it takes a creative genius to see the differences between our old website and this beautiful new one, but we are also extremely excited about the capabilities and attention to detail that will make this platform one that will springboard Geothermal Rising and geothermal energy into a new era.
