on co-creating history

There are many histories from many times, people, and places
But
I want to bring our attention to the history of our living, NOW.
On the ways our stories combine into 'his-story'
and not the stories that we tell ourselves, but the ways our stories shape the land that sustains our lives - for this is the measurement of the ways we conduct ourselves.
Will our grandchildren's children drink this water, eat these plants, harvest these salmon...

I live in a place(time) where there is pressure to (1) crack the earth open to release gas (2) move this gas through pipes to the coast requiring pressurizing every 100km (3) Liquifying this gas by dropping the temperature to -160, requiring amounts of energy equvalent to burning 30% of the gas shipped by supertankers to (4) travel across the ocean and (5) be consumed in the production processes to create things that nobody probably needed in the first place.

Our living history could benefit from new goals. This short video frames this well.

So (1) this gas is not for local consumption, and there are serious ecological and social problems that have resulted from these processes. (2) these pipelines require 100m swaths of forest cleared (and kept clear) raising serious concerns about increased animal predation, erosion, and destabalizing steep coastal terrain. (3) the energy required to move this gas is astronomical, or a big number. the proposed cite c dam would be inadequate to power a single LNG plant. (4)(5) and for what? I'm not sure.

'Natural Gas' is a misnomer just as the 'Liberal Party' is not liberal by definition, amenable to progress or reform.

Let's get to Know our History, the one we're living, not the ones we're told to believe.
