For the past two decades communities in the Northwest have defeated fracked gas export terminals. Despite these successes, the “natural” gas industry continues to push their product. Come learn about methane’s many harms and alternatives to its use—such as thermal heat networks. Discussion will include environmental, climate and health impacts, the damage dealt to communities through fracking operations and the rampant greenwashing of this questionable energy source.
