Hot dry rock geothermal energy makes use of hot fluids found naturally in basement rock; but such HWR conditions are rare. By far the bulk of the world’s geothermal resource base (over 98%) is in the form of basement rock that is hot but dry—with no naturally available water. This means that HDR technology is applicable almost everywhere on earth (hence the claim that HDR geothermal energy is ubiquitous). Typically, the temperature in those vast regions of the accessible crystalline basement rock increases with depth. This geothermal gradient, which is the principal HDR resource variable, ranges from less than 20 °C/km to over 60 °C/km,
Short-term energy-relieving behavior Short-term energy-relieving behavior Short-term energy-relieving behavior (STERB) is continuously repeated, sometimes involuntary or compulsive, behavior for releasing the build-up of energy caused by unresolved emotions or trauma. Examples of common STERBs are overeating, drug and alcohol abuse, excessive exercise, social isolation, sex, fantasies, shopping and workaholism. Most of these actions are not harmful in and of themselves, but they don't provide a long-term resolution of the emotional pain, and may even lead to damaging consequences in the long run. Treatment of grief through self-medication and STERBs can hide the normal and natural reactions to loss and will only delay and
