Solarpunk — Climate Optimism in Art and Literature [Translation in Comments]
A nice article by the major German public broadcaster’s news site. Translation by ChatGPT3.5:...
Producing solar energy, strawberries, tomatoes and peppers in one place (pv-magazine-usa.com)
love the move away from just seeing the choice for land use as solar or agriculture when it can be both, using the infrastructure of power generation to help protect growing plants could really help increase productivity for a small-holding especially when things like watering systems are tied into the PV infrastructure and we...

Solarpunk YouTube or podcast recommendations?
I was wondering if y’all have some YouTube or podcast recommendations for solarpunk creators.

The goal of this project is to gather strategies, skills, disciplines, technologies, ideas, designs and critical thought in an effort to help prepare communities big and small for a time of great upheaval, an era of collapses (plural). It is not a submission to ‘The Collapse’ and nor does it seek to romanticise an end times....
we shouldn't promote individual responsibility *instead* of corporate accountability. we should promote individual responsibility *because it leads to* corporate accountability (slrpnk.net)
Not my OC but what I’ve believed for years: there’s no conflict between reducing your own environmental impact and holding corporations responsible. We hold corps responsible for the environment by creating a societal ethos of environmental responsibility that forces corporations to serve the people’s needs or go bankrupt...
What do you think of Biden's Climate Corps proposal? (www.npr.org)
I think it’s a step forward. A small step but a step. Getting kids any entry level job is a good thing these days, setting them up for careers in climate positive sectors is even better, and I personally like anything that moves us closer to the New Deal 😆
Any book recommendations?
I am not sure what I am looking for, but I am interested in solar punk and am looking for books!...

What would you like to see in a solarpunk kitchen?

Solarpunk is going mainstream. This couple's $1M Kickstarter proves it (www.canarymedia.com)
“Mainstream” isn’t a good label in my book, but I like the enthusiasm 👍
What do you think a solarpunk world would look like after all known fossil fuel reserves have been burned? (www.newyorker.com)
Frankly, I think it would be foolish to expect any fossil fuel reserves to stay in the ground. Corporations are immortal, corporations own lots of drilling tools, and as long as there is profit to be made in mining and burning fossil fuels, corporations will do it, the Earth be damned....
Looking for players for a Solarpunk tabletop RPG (slrpnk.net)
I’m a developer for an open-world tabletop RPG called Fully Automated! The goal is to create a free, open-source game that can be to solarpunk what D&D is to fantasy and Shadowrun to cyberpunk. And the first version is mostly done. It’s got:...
Exodus by Kevin A. Carson, have you read it?
Has anyone read this book? I’m currently reading it and I find it an incredible way of looking at the transition to a Post Capitalist society in the 21st century....

What would you like to see in art of a Solarpunk city
I’m planning out a photobash (hopefully part of a set) showcasing options and possibilities for a more solarpunk world. My goal for these is for them to be a more practical and actionable view of a solarpunk society, more than just green skyscrapers or super scifi-looking places. I’m mostly setting these in a post-crumbles...

This on buildings with plants
I have worked in building maintenance and repair. One thing that is extremely hazardous to a concrete building is too much water. I have seen many concrete planters that crack and result in water leaks for lower levels. Standing water in concrete structures is a huge no no. I do not have a lot of experience in engineering on...
I want to get my PC off the grids power; any decent solutions for an apartment that has access to a roof?
As title says. I think my PC is using like a max of 500w when it’s juicing but idles for less. I was thinking of using an ecoflow high grade setup for this. Anyone have experience doing something similar?...
