Geothermal energy in the United States Geothermal Data System (NGDS). Through the NGDS, many older paper archives and drill logs that are stored at state geological surveys are now being digitized and made available for free to the public. The underground hot water and steam used to generate geothermal power may contain chemicals that could pollute the air and water if released at the surface. Hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic in high concentrations, is sometimes found in geothermal systems. Newer methods of generating geothermal power separate the hot steam collected underground from the steam used to power turbines, and substantially reduce the risk of releasing air-polluting
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
