That region of the US sits on top of one of the largest high-quality geothermal fields on the planet, about the size of Western Europe, and it isn't the only one in the US. The US produces more geothermal power than any other country by a significant margin, and several times more than Iceland.
Ironically, environmental activism has substantially hindered development of geothermal power in the US, but the country still has a lot of it.
