Artistic projects can have important roles in terms of changing the perceptions and assumptions of things we take for granted. Project Plume, beginning in November 2015 and running for around eight weeks, used the plume above the District Energy plant in downtown St. Paul, to call attention to the potential for increasing green energy usage.
