Sorry Princess, Jafar Has Locked the Palace Gates
It started out as a sweet family story: UK Mum takes daughter to Disneyland and both dress up as fairytale princesses.

Turn Trash into Energy
Now, why would New York be interested in that?
Europe does it all the time, mostly because of the strict Kyoto Protocol that the US turned its nose up at.
But typical NIMBYism and red tape have turned a simple technological advance into a ‘no can do’ for New York.
