Alaska’s Geothermal Breakthrough: How the State–POSCO Deal Could Ignite a Volcanic Clean Energy and Industrial Revolution
Alaska’s Geothermal Gold Rush: Why the State–POSCO Deal Could Ignite One of the World’s Most Powerful Clean Energy Revolutions By: Robert Buluma Alaska has just sent a clear signal to the global energy market: the future is not only oil, gas, or even critical minerals—it is heat beneath the Earth’s surface . The recent memorandum of understanding between the State of Alaska and covers six major development projects, including geothermal energy, green fuels, critical minerals, and infrastructure expansion. Among them, one stands out as the most transformative, most scalable, and most future-proof: the Mount Augustine Geothermal Energy Project . While other sectors in the agreement may dominate headlines—rare earths, ports, aviation fuels—it is geothermal energy that quietly underpins the entire long-term vision. Because once you unlock geothermal heat at scale, everything else becomes easier. Alaska Is Sitting on a Geothermal Superpower Most people still associate Alaska wi...
