the largest nuclear and geothermal energy producer in the United States.

History

For about 12,000 years, Native Americans built steam baths and thermal pools at The Geysers and used the steam and hot water for healing purposes, as well as spiritual and ceremonial practices, and cooking. The thermal pools were used as a medicinal treatment for rheumatism and arthritis. The heated mud was used to soothe skin rashes and other aches and pains, using the fumaroles as a natural energy source.
