Logging and geothermal resource extraction were still possible impacts to the area.

An independent assessment has estimated the geothermal resource potential at 11,000 petajoules.

Geothermal resources also exist in the region, although they can not be considered a profitable energy source.

Geothermal has a higher capacity factor than many other power sources, and geothermal resources are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Upper estimates of geothermal resources assume enhanced geothermal wells as deep as 10km mi, whereas existing geothermal wells are rarely more than 3km mi deep.
