Finding Yourself
by Theresa Ann Moore
Of all the people that you may know
There is one who remains an embryo
You will never meet them face to face
Because you are standing in their place
When you stop to think... you will seek
Asking yourself, what makes you unique
As life passes through a continuing turnstile
Identity changes like the shadow of a sundial
When you are asked to describe your being
It is difficult to pinpoint what you are seeing
You see yourself in the eyes of those who look
Scanning their notes in an observation book…
No two chapters will be exactly the same
Each person sees you in a different frame
All that you can find of yourself is a reflection...
A variety of appraisals derived by connection
Within a searching mind, your vision is vast
Someone inside is waiting to be released at last
Finally there is an emergence of your worth
Find your significant self... then experience birth

Northamptonshire is seemingly the Wind Turbine capital of the UK (for on-shore); these monsters rising out are quite a size and leave a mark on the surrounding landscape.
Near Blanchardville Wisconsin. Old native limestone farmhouse that is being remodeled once again for yet another generation. A “someone still wants me” story.
♫ The Jacksons, Mick Jagger - State of Shock ♫
You know I really love you, baby
Want you I reall want you, mama
You got me paralyzed
(You got me paralyzed)
You got me catatonic
(You got me catatonic baby)
You got me supersonic
(You got me supersonic, baby)
You know I'm deep fried
(You know I'm deep fried)
Yeah, look what you've done to me
Look what you've done to me
Look what you've done to me
Yeah, how you move
(A state of shock)
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers is a hotel in the Ørestad city area of Copenhagen. It is renowned for being the first hotel in Denmark that generates all of its power from renewable sources.
The Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers is located in the southern part Ørestad South area of Ørestad, lying just south of the Øresund highway.
The Copenhagen-based practice Dissing+Weitling, as well as Norman Fosters studio in London were responsible for designing the hotel. It was constructed by Sjælsø. The furniture was bought from Paustian House and many eco-friendly solutions were integrated into the hotel construction. The construction started in 2007 and ended in 2009. The hotel opened on 16 November that same year.
Besides being the first carbon dioxide neutral hotel in Denmark, Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers is also the first Danish hotel to sign the United Nations Global Compact, implementing socially responsible policies. The hotel gets its energy from renewable sources, including Northern Europe's largest solar park integrated into the hotel’s façade, it uses Denmark's first groundwater-based cooling and heating system.
Windy days are perfect to create power with windmills. In my homeland, located in the north of Bavaria in Germany, there are a lot of windpower plants. I like them as they are good photographic sujets.

This railroad company operates its entire line on electricity derived from 100% renewable energy sources.
We had a doosy of a wild electrical storm last night.
This was one of the best shots of the night and is mostly, if not all, one single lightning bolt.

Shetland has now got a large wind farm, with turbines marching across the hillside. These have only been installed in the last few years. Given how windy the islands are and the UK in general doesn't quite have the rabid anti-windfarm lobby that occurs here I didn't hear much about protesting this. However, I am sure there would be some. Unlike, Iceland where geothermal energy is useful for both heating and electricity generation and is readily available.
This is an AI overview of the Viking Wind Farm "The primary wind turbine farm in the Shetland Islands is the Viking Wind Farm, a 443MW project with 103 turbines, which recently achieved full operational capacity, becoming the UK's most productive wind farm. It harnesses the islands' strong wind resources to generate enough electricity for approximately 500,000 homes and helps support the UK's net-zero targets. Other projects include the Energy Isles Wind Farm, an 18-turbine development on the island of Yell with a capacity of 126MW.
Viking Wind Farm
Capacity: 443 megawatts (MW).
Turbines: 103 turbines.
Output: Can power the equivalent of nearly half a million homes annually.
Significance: Expected to be the UK's most productive onshore wind farm and play a vital role in the country's decarbonization goals.
Status: All turbines were installed by August 2023, and it is now fully operational.
Other Projects
Energy Isles Wind Farm: An 18-turbine development on the island of Yell, with an installed capacity of about 126MW, capable of powering around 157,000 homes.
Shetland's Renewable Energy Future
Onshore and Offshore Potential: Shetland possesses significant wind resources, with plans for further wind farms and the development of tidal and green hydrogen projects, such as the Orion project.
Grid Connection: The construction of the Viking wind farm includes a new undersea cable to export the additional power to the Scottish mainland and beyond, helping to stabilize the grid and connect Shetland to the national grid.
Community Benefits: These projects are designed to retain the benefits of the renewable energy sector within the Shetland community and help reduce reliance on diesel and natural gas. " www.vikingenergy.co.uk/
