Which outcome occurs when thermoelectric power generation is deployed along Arctic stream systems?

💡 Explanation

Permafrost often insulates Arctic streams; power generation contributes wasted heat, resulting in a positive feedback where increased ambient temperatures further melt the permafrost because of conductive heat-transfer, thereby causing an accelerated thaw process, rather than stable conditions.
