This weeks Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge: "My Country"

Energy Dependent - Energy Starved
Please pardon our construction dust as we do a little remodeling.

Update: To enjayel: The stack is not going to be removed... however the old smokey manufacturing plant that once powered it is being replaced by a new residential development. The smokestack will stay as some form of landmark. To me this construction site is a metaphor of the U.S. Government. We are about to dismantle one old, tired, dysfunctional administration and replace it with a better one (hopefully). Some old symbols will remain to reflect our colorful history.
