The geothermal industry could be very alive and well in the Yukon, but unfortunately there have been some impediments put in the way in various communities—Haines Junction and Mayo—that have major potential. In fact, Mayo uses one well, a hot well, to mix with the cold water, because the water comes out of the ground for potable water use at right around zero degrees Celsius. So you have to heat it to circulate it, but there have been impediments put in the way by the environmental side of our regulatory regimes.
