Five Hundreds of citizens are all together to form human banners calling to
end fossil fuel toward 100% renewable energy.
Here's a closer look at that power plant on the opposite shore of Cayuga Lake, 4.2 miles north of where I was standing in Taughannock Falls State Park as the Google Earth line lies. This is a coal-fired plant built in 1955 with a 323-megawatt (MW) capacity, and it supplied a significant percentage of the electricity used in central New York for a little more than 50 years. The company that built it sold it in 1999, but the company that bought it went bankrupt 12 years later, so somebody else bought it at fire sale prices and came up with a plan to convert it from coal to natural gas.
This wasn't a unique plan. According to the internet, since 2011, about a third of the nation's 360-someodd coal-fired power plants have converted to natural gas in response to stricter environmental controls coupled with a sharp drop in natural gas prices thanks to advances in gas production technologies. (Think fracking.) The benefit to the world at large from this is that electricity is cheaper to produce with natural gas, natural gas production isn't as environmentally destructive (mostly), and natural gas power plants emit about 40% as much carbon per unit of electricity as coal.
The downside is that natural gas is still a fossil fuel, and though its impact on the environment is considerably less than coal, it's still not nothing, and in some places it can be pretty destructive. In short, the power doesn't come without consequence, and the people of New York wanted consequence-free power. The people living around the Finger Lakes protested the conversion, and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo put a stop to it. He wanted New York to be free of fossil fuels by 2050, and he thought a natural gas conversion would slow that transition down. The result of the denied permits was that the Cayuga Lake Power Plant shut down for good in 2019.
So, does this qualify as an environmental win? I wouldn't be so fast. Even if you ignore what the removal of 323 MW from New York's electricity supply does to the grid and where the state might be turning to make up for the loss, there's the question of what happens to the plant itself. The company that bought this plant in 2011 has no interest in just leaving the plant here to rot, so they decided to convert the property into a server farm devoted to mining cryptocurrencies. You know, bitcoin and ethereum and other digital Ponzi schemes. They wouldn't be producing any power here, but a server farm consumes an enormous amount of electricity, and a shuttered power plant already has all the transformers and transmission lines a server farm needs to handle all that. The internet quotes local officials as saying this server farm would use enough electricity to power 16,400 homes. I work that out to a constant draw of about 20 MW.
This has inspired the people of New York to step back and say, "No, wait ... that's not what we meant," because if there's a more pointless use of 20 MW (12 of which would be produced by a natural gas plant just like what they don't have here) than the invention of fake internet money on an increasingly overburdened grid, I can't think of what it'd be. The last report I saw in my quick internet survey about this was published in January, though, and the last eight months have seen a precipitous collapse in the price of tulips ... er, I mean cryptomoney, so I don't know if this is still a thing or not.

I am on Jenny Craig because I work there and it is required of us. Well, I did need to lose some weight (not much but enough) and I'm definitely doing great! I have lost almost 10 pounds and almost 7 inches. The pants I am wearing in this photo I have not been able to wear since freshman year of college 5 years ago. They are about 2 sizes smaller than my other pants (which I can barely keep up anymore...annoying but great!).
I am feeling amazing. 10 pound isn't much but I feel healthier and can't wait to lost the rest:-) Soon these pants will be too big!!!

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., -- Brig. Gen. Michael Wehr (left) conducted a change of command ceremony where command responsibility transferred from outgoing District Commander Lt. Col. Jason Williams (holding flag) to incoming District Commander Lt. Col. Antoinette Gant, on July 12. This transfer of leadership was physically represented by passing the ceremonial flag from the old commander to the new. The custom of acknowledging the change in commanding officer dates back to, at least, Roman times.
The District’s area of responsibility includes the entire state of New Mexico, as well as portions of southern Colorado and far west Texas. The District performs design, construction and operations and maintenance services for three Air Force bases and conducts a robust civil works program.

Built as Hermann Göring´s Air ministry in the 1930s, it became the House of Ministries in the communist GDR, and is now, since reunification of the two Germanys, Ministry of Finance. Picture taken from across the street at a very early morning in 2012. I can´t remember why it was lit green.
So yeah, I think this might be useful for those who have articulated Barbies with horrible hip articulation, even though Disney Store dolls have MUCH worse hip problems since they're not attached elastic but rather via pins and vinyl set up that I can't disassemble without snapping the hips. But yeah, you may have heard some Disney Dolls from the Disney Store have articulation in both the arms/wrist/hips/ankles AND knee joints, plus they're slightly slimmer than Barbies so they make good candidates for teenagers and in a large variety of skintones.
However their hip articulation suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks and they sit like drunken sailors more than princesses heh.
If anyone was wondering, I modded my Anna doll to have her hip joints not be so ridiculous and so she can pose better when sitting. I mostly carved away the front of the hip joints so they have less plastic pushing the legs to splay apart, which I always have done to older style Barbie Legs to help them sit together better, though I carved MUCH more on the DS legs yet Anna is still sort of splayed legged still.
I haven’t modded Elsa because I mostly intend for her to display and to not pose as much as Anna, plus her skintone is unique unlike Anna’s so if I screwed up on Anna I could headswap her unlike Elsa.
I redlined what I carved out on Elsa so people can hopefully see how I shaped Anna’s thighs. She has thigh holes but eh. Eh.
We are going through changes in the store, we are no longer Posy Store and will be Story Store!
Expect other things than poses to be sold in our store.
Thank you all!
Posters of the "Change of Era" exhibition are all over town.
In the middle is a slide from the exhibition, of my dearly missed friend, Thierry Kazazian, who initiated the project 2 years ago.
Some of the people in the shots are bystanders, some are my friends with whom I was lucky enough to work with on this project in it's early stages. We came together from all over the world to see the exhibition and honour Thierry's memory.
The morning of Monday, October 27, actor Jason Alexander hosted a Vote Early for Change event at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.
Early voting in Florida began Monday, October 20 and Jason Alexander is encouraging voters to cast their ballot early in Palm Beach county and throughout South Florida. Early voting is available until Sunday, November 2, the polls will all be closed on November 3 and then of course November 4 is the Official Election Day and the last opportunity you will have to express your self and help to select Barack Obama as the next President of the United States.
Since you are looking at these photos, I assume you are voting for Obama, so it is very important to remember that if you really want Barack Obama and Joe Biden to be able to effect the change we all want, then you also need to vote for Democrats down the entire ticket...
On other South Florida stops, Alexander was joined by Congressman Robert Wexler, Congressman Ron Klein, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, State Senator Ted Deutch, State Senator Jeremy Ring, and others.
