Certain classes of drugs — most notably statins — are metabolized (broken down) in your intestines by an enzyme called CYP3A, which normally reduces the amount of drug that enters your bloodstream. Grapefruit juice contains compounds called furanocoumarins that stop CYP3A from doing its job. As a result, more of the drug is absorbed, making it more powerful than it's meant to be — even toxic in some cases.
Southern Tier Solutions is hoping to secure at least 100,000 acres of land in Broome, Chemung, and Tioga counties, with the long-term goal of landing 1 million acres, which they would develop for “closed-loop drilling” that would pump carbon dioxide into the ground and remove methane, the primary component of natural gas. Instead of piping the gas around the state, the company wants to build 10 power plants in the region, which would pump any byproducts back into the ground.
One of several.
