Jimmy's summary: The Dominica government says it will spend an estimated EC$45 million on the further development of the geothermal energy sector. Funds would come from the controversial Citizenship by Investment Program (CBI) through which foreign investors are provided with Dominican citizenship in return for making a significant investment in the socio-economic development of the country.

Diane's summary: A large state-run oil company named Sinopec in China has plans to move into geothermal energy. Recently the company began to drill hundreds of wells throughout China. Instead of tapping into oil reserves, these wells are meant to leverage the potential of geothermal energy. Energy that can be used to heat homes in various parts of the country and will not be generated through use of fossil-fuels. Majority of China's energy source comes from coal. However this is going to change with the introduction of bigger geothermal plans for China. The geothermal wells will be able to provide residents with ample heat to fight against the cold winter months,

Marti's summary: Turkey’s Association of Geothermal Power Plant Investors (JESDER) recently stated that their geothermal energy sector will have even more momentum this year, 2017. In recent years, it has grown 50% each year. During a conference, the president of JESDER stated that geothermal energy is clean, environmentally friendly, and renewable. This sector also provides jobs for more people, while giving clean electricity to many. It will continue to grow in future years. The United Nations Conference on Climate Change has set up a Geothermal Alliance that will increase geothermal energy and heating around the world. There may be local opposition; however, it is fact that geothermal energy is a good and unique source to produce electricity and will give many opportunities for the people.

Tran's summary: In the 1970s, Springhill, a former coal mining community, nearly went under after the resource dried up. However, geothermal energy is drawing new business to the region, and many people are suggesting that this might work for Sussex as well. In 1985, Springhill conducted its first study on using water as a geothermal energy source. A few years later, eight local companies started using the geothermal resource, and the number have been increasing ever since. The people in this community see this as “the future” because it’s affordable energy can help with business. The energy cost savings provide businesses with an extra incentive to relocate to the community. They’re conducting a study into the temperature, volume and accessibility of the water in Sussex in order to start using geothermal energy.
