It may need a few months to recover，but wildlife officials have been trying to figure o ut how the 3­foot­tall bird will get it to Antarctica is near­impossible in the southern winter，and there are fears that the penguin may have acquired infections in the warmer New Zealand environment that could spread to other penguins.
On Wednesday，a group headed by the Department of Conservation decided officials will help the penguin get part of the way home by releasing it into the Southern Ocean，southeast of New Zealand—and letting it swim the rest of the way.
“The reason for not returning the pengui n directly to Antarctica is that emperor penguins of this age are usually found north of Antarctica on pack ice and in the open ocean，”the department's spokesman Peter Simpson said.
The bird is estimated to be about two and a half years old，a juvenile(幼雏)in a species that reaches breeding age at around four or will be released on the northern edge
of the region where young emperor penguins are known to said he was unsure how far the penguin would have to swim before reaching its final destination.

“The bird is isolated in an air­conditioned room filled with large blocks of ice，”said zoo spokeswoman Kate Baker.

The forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquakeprone(有地震倾向的) countries could become part of its longterm energy solution.
Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.
Although Japanese hightech companies are leaders in geothermal(地热的) technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation.
“Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geother mal energy，” said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermalelectric power production.
The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent.
Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs.
For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.
The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.
“We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks，” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature w ould need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.
Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, “Producing electricity by using hot springs is a decadeslong also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term.”
The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, the US, believed Japan could produce 80，000 megawatts(兆瓦)and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.
Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market 2010, Fuji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand.
