### The Resurgence of Geothermal Energy in the U.S.
In the early 2000s, the U.S. Air Force played a pivotal role in advancing the domestic solar energy sector—laying down the groundwork for its remarkable expansion over subsequent years. Today, that momentum seems set to be repeated as the Air Force turns its attention toward revitalizing geothermal energy—a field that has been relatively dormant for many years.
#### Expanding Geothermal Energy Across America
Currently, there are no geothermal power plants located east of the Rocky Mountains. This limitation stems from a historical dependence on specific geological conditions required for effective electricity production—factors such as optimal rock formations and adequate water sources that have primarily concentrated development in states like California and Oregon.
To combat this geographical restriction, the U.S. Department of Energy has invested considerable resources and taxpayer dollars to pioneer innovative drilling technologies adapted from oil and gas operations. These advancements enable geothermal systems to establish underground reservoirs engineered by humans, allowing them to capitalize on heat resources more dynamically wherever they exist.
#### An Energetic Commitment by The Air Force
The implications of these technological strides have not gone unnoticed; even under President Trump’s “American Energy Dominance” initiative—which favors fossil fuel production—geothermal energy is highlighted among key energy solutions being considered (with biofuels and hydropower also included).
With significant influence already felt within solar initiatives, the Air Force is setting ambitious goals aimed at fostering growth in geothermal resources too. They unveiled a compilation of eleven innovative companies recognized through a Defense Department program dedicated to tech acceleration called Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace; firms given this “awardable status” are pre-approved for potential projects across multiple branches within DoD.
The Air Force isn’t idly waiting around either; last autumn saw Sage Geothermal—a startup listed among those recognized by Tradewinds—begin preparations upon contracting them for pilot-testing novel geothermal technologies in Starr County Texas with construction set to commence this year. Notably, Sage is also engaged with an initiative located at Fort Bliss associated with U.S Army operations.
GreenFire Energy was another recipient from this elite list who made immediate moves after selection last April—forging ahead with installations employing advanced geothermal technology at Naval Air Facility El Centro situated in California.
#### Paving The Way For Utility-scale Geothermal Projects
Achieving “Awardable” status validates these companies’ innovations while positively affecting overall economic prospects within American geothermics sector—in particular utility-scale developments aimed at military installations requiring reliable green electricity sources—even amidst grid interruptions,” noted GreenFire representatives recently via press communication.
“This recognition comes against rigorous competition amongst other technologically promising entrants into Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace having demonstrated innovation alongside scalability directly aiding Defense strategies,” added GreenFire officials further emphasizing their commitment towards sustainability advancement.
