H. R. 1449 is a new rule that asks to sell special permissions to use underground heat for making energy every year instead of every two years. If a sale gets canceled, they must have another one that year, and they need to quickly decide who gets to drill wells for this energy.

The Geothermal Energy Opportunity Act is like a rule that says if someone wants to dig and use hot steam from the earth for energy, the people in charge have to say yes or no within 60 days, even if there's a big argument about it in court. But, if a judge says to stop, then they have to listen to the judge.

The bill wants to change an old rule so that it's easier and faster for people to look for hot water under the ground, which can be used to make energy, without hurting the environment too much. It also plans to have helpers to make sure everything goes smoothly and quickly when people want to start looking for this hot water on government land.

The bill lets a government department charge for help in watching over companies using hot water and steam from the ground, making sure everything is fair and good until 2031. They need to check how it's working after a few years and report on it.

H.R. 1449 wants to change the rules so there are more chances each year to find and use hot water underground, which can help make energy, and makes sure that if this chance is canceled, it is replaced quickly. It also tells the people in charge to make decisions about using this hot water faster, but some worry this might cause problems if it's too rushed.

The GEO Act is like a new rule that gives people who want to use hot water from the ground a specific time for the government to say "yes" or "no" to their request. They have to decide within 60 days, but it might be tricky if there are big problems to think about first.

The bill wants to let a part of the U.S. government, called the Department of the Interior, ask people who use Earth's heat for energy to pay back some of the money the government spends to help manage their projects. This means if someone wants to use hot water from inside the Earth to make power, they might have to help the government pay some of the costs of taking care of this process.

The bill wants to make it easier for people to use heat from the Earth by not needing some special permissions from the government if less than half of the land underground belongs to the U.S., and if they have permission from the state. It also says that certain laws to protect nature and history won't always need to be checked, except on Native American lands.

The GEO Act is a plan to make it faster for people to get permission to use hot water under the ground to make energy. It says the government has to decide yes or no within 60 days, even if there are still questions or problems to solve.

The bill wants to make it easier and faster for people to look for hot water under the ground, called geothermal energy, which can be used for power. It tries to speed up the process by changing some rules, but this might mean less checking on how it affects the environment.
