Hygiëne in hotels
A new study found viruses on TV remotes, light switches and even hotel pens after cold sufferers checked out.
The germ testing was done before the rooms were cleaned, so it likely overstates the risks that most travelers would face.
"We know that viruses can survive on surfaces for a long time - more than four days,'' said Dr. Birgit Winther, an ear, nose and throat specialist at the university who led the study.
Virus was found on 7 out of 14 door handles and 6 of 14 pens. Six out of 15 light switches, TV remotes and faucets tested positive, as did 5 of 15 phones. Shower curtains, coffee makers and alarm clocks also harbored viruses.
Experts did not test items like bedspreads because cloth dries out germs, making them far less likely to survive than they do on smooth or moist surfaces.
Indonesia, dotted with hundreds of active and extinct volcanoes, has the potential to produce an estimated 27,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity from geothermal sources.
However, the vast potential remains largely untapped because the high cost of geothermal energy makes the price of electricity generated this way expensive.
Pertamina upstream director Sukusen Soemarinda said the government had decided Pertamina should hand over its geothermal energy activities to the new company.
"Pertamina should focus on oil and gas activities. Pertamina currently has 15 geothermal areas, some of them producing steam," he told reporters.
"Pertamina will handed over its geothermal areas to the new company once it is up and running," Soemarinda said, adding the new firm would be set up as soon as possible.
Energy Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro has said Indonesia currently generates 850 MW electricity from geothermal energy, or about 3 percent of current production, and plans to increase that to 9,500 MW by 2025.
Chevron Geothermal Indonesia Ltd, a unit of Chevron Corp. has geothermal operations generating 636 MW in Indonesia.
A Chevron official said on Thursday the company was looking into expanding its geothermal capacity in the Southeast Asian country further.
