It needs to have a Caribbean feel. This means, lush greenery, hilly, unordered (so no tidy grid streets etc.), rough edges. Representation of what geothermal is. This includes production and injection wells, surface equipment. Some other examples of direct use applications with associated temperature requirements. Cheaper form of energy.

How geothermal might be used on the surface in several applications including growing/drying crops, tourism and bathing. A focus on the positive and beneficial aspects of geothermal energy in the Caribbean. Avoid using imagery of geothermal plants and equipment as this would contradict the ‘clean’ image that is meant to be portrayed. It would also look out of place against the lush greenery and picturesque environment of the Caribbean islands.
