(C) Montana Born Leonard Clark
I saw her first through wavering candlelight.
My sister in her cradle one hour old:
Outside, the snow was drifting through the night.
But she lay warm, obvious to the cold.
Her eyes were closed, the half-moist wisps of hair,
A honey harvest on her wrinkled head,
The smile upon her face as if she was elsewhere,
But knew the land she had inherited.
My mother there at peace, her labor done,
Their greyness gone, her cheeks were coralline, She welcomed me, her wondering first-born son And placed my sister’s new-nailed hand in mine.
I looked through the freezing window pane, The whitening acre bare and stretching far
That nine months hence would heave with welling grain,
And over every distant peak a star.
And she, my winter sister, does she know, That all this homely countryside is hers. Where once were warring Sioux and buffalo,
And covered wagons full of travelers?
But I will tell her the Indian tales,
And show her grass-high fields, and sugar beet. We’ll ride all day along the western trails,
Missouri River glinting at our feet.
Montana born. she’ll sleep beneath these beams,
And learn the simple ways, and say her prayers,
And even now she may see in her dreams Another boy come climbing up the stairs.

The alarm clock goes off. It’s set for 7:00, but the clock’s connected to the internet and has woken you fifteen minutes earlier than usual because the traffic reports from the internet are predicting longer delays today due to a Tube strike. The internet radio station streams music from a standardized station playlist. But there’s also a special internet service which means that the news, traffic and weather are local, and are customized for you using the preferences that you set before.

Your journey to work is still by car—the public transport hasn’t improved much. It’s now almost impossible to buy a new car that isn’t at least a hybrid, uses regenerative braking (which charges a battery as you brake) and smart idling
(which cuts the engine if you stop for more than a few seconds). Service stations now have fast-charge points at some locations where you can leave your car recharging while you have a coffee.

All the checkouts at your local supermarkets are self-service. This is apart from a single “assisted checkout”, intended for customers with disabilities and staffed on demand. Most food manufacturers now label their products with food miles and some have gone a step further with a “carbon foodprint”—the total carbon emitted during the production process, not just transportation.

Through the night, while you’re asleep and electricity demand is low, wind and wave power continue to supply electricity to the national grid. Combined with the photovoltaic cells you put on the roof, more than fifteen percent of your total electricity now comes from green sources. Long showers and keeping the TV on standby are things of the past. The smart meter allows you to keep track of your electricity consumption.
