Hot rocks remaining beneath the surface of the flanks of the volcano outside the monument have drawn two companies trying to demonstrate new technology that could greatly expand development of geothermal energy. The project is backed by the federal government and Google. (AP Photo/U.S. Geological Survey/Lyn Topinka)
