[CP2K-user] [CP2K:18816] energy from GEO_OPT job does not equal ENERGY job?

Thanks for the response,

I have attached the relevant (I think) files for my geo_opt and energy jobs.

I did a test for the energy on a more simple system that resulted in equal
energies between *geo_opt* and *energy*, but I'm not sure why that is not
the case for the files I have provided.

Best,
Aaron
