    Kind of off-topic but I always considered solarpunk to be a somewhat wholesome version of a sustainable future. While the rest of “punk” genres are usually “high X, low life”.

    Is it that solarpunk is rather “punk” in the sense of rebellion against the status-quo, or is it something I’m missing and solarpunk also follows “low life” formula?

      That part is actually adressed in the solarpunk manifesto:

      The “punk” in Solarpunk is about rebellion, counterculture, post-capitalism, decolonialism and enthusiasm. It is about going in a different direction than the mainstream, which is increasingly going in a scary direction.

    Honesty, I’m OK with slowing down and consuming less if it is night and the wind isn’t blowing. Lets just use that time for rest, instead of being in hyper production mode all the time.

    I love how a person that doesn’t understand what batteries are thinks they have an informed opinion on solar punk .

    I diagnose you with capitalism (and the resulting lack of imagination how a better world could look like)
