Helsinki: Nuage Vert, a green laser projection in the emission cloud of Salmisaari power station. As the consumption of electricity is reduced, the green cloud grows. The laser beam illuminating the vapour emissions is faintly visible as a rectangle in the sky above the green cloud. Photo taken near the old cable factory in the district of Ruoholahti.

Gré, the laser beam followed the contours of the steam cloud, so yes, the shape of the green figure was changing all the time. Unfortunately this was just a one week project, which ended on February 29th.

Sorry!
Okay, the shape of the steam was moving, so the green cloud was changing. What I meant was; was the cloud growing, so you good see that the consumption of the electricity was reduced? Did it help to let the people of Helsinki use less electricity?

Gré, on the last evening of the green cloud project a special electricity saving event was organized. It seems as this UNPLUG event actually "saved" a little electricity. You can read more about it on the Nuage Vert site.
