Mark Needham is the garrison commander of Fort Knox, one of the Army’s biggest bases and home, of course, to the U.S. Treasury Department’s stash of gold bullion.

The system has a guaranteed lifespan of 50 years and is endlessly sustainable--the underground temperature is determined mainly by the earth-absorbing solar energy.
