En la asamblea de la huerta de ayer una compañera nos habló de esto y me parece ma-ra-vi-llo-so #solarpunk

The more I look at this wonderful #solarpunk illustration of a #hackerspace by @…, the more I like it.

A library of Solarpunk art and story seeds, visions of an optimistic climate future.

Today, the culturally set goal (via capitalism) for every human is to maximize their accumulation of capital. This goal is killing us all. If you could, somehow, set a different goal, what would it be?
This is perhaps a bit of a #SolarPunk question.

“So imagine a world whose nations—mostly its rich nations—just decided to keep those Chinese factories (and the ones in India, and Vietnam, and in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district in Georgia, which is the largest in the western hemisphere) busy. Keep them open,all of them, around the clock, churning out ever-cheaper solar panels and then either selling them at the deepest possible discount or maybe just piling them up on every wharf and railway siding in the world for people to come and take away.”

You can bring down a government, smash a dictatorship, you have the power. This is an excellent strategy. But if you can go this far, if you can win this much, how much farther can you go? Is it enough to get back to the "normal" polycrisis, to return to microplastics and ecocide, to every open space filled with tent camps while luxury apartments continue to sit empty? Is it enough to be one injury or diagnosis away from unending debt?
What #SolarPunk future could we build instead? I expect it's whatever one you dream about, talk about, organize for, and fight for.

Day 3: Octavia Butler.
Incredibly dark, graphic, and disturbing near-future science fiction, which has proved absolutely prophetic. In the 1990's she was writing about a charismatic Conservative Christian and white nationalist president elected in 2024, and the horrors his paramilitary followers would unleash, including forced labor & indoctrination camps. Did I mention those books include ebikes & pseudo-cellphones too? Characters fleeing north from a disastrous social collapse in Loss Angeles? This is "The Parable of the Sower" and "The Parable of the Talents" and the later was tragically rushed to an end because of Butler's declining health.
Her work deals unflinchingly with racism and the darker parts of society, and to those who might say "her depiction of social collapse is overblown," I'd say that while it's not literally the world we live in, it's *effectively* the world that the poorest of us live in. If you're a homeless undocumented latinx person in LA right now, I'm not sure how meaningfully different your world is from the one she depicts.
Her work comes with a strong content warning for lots of things, including racial violence, sexual abuse and slavery, including of children, animal harm, etc., so it's not for everyone. Reading it in 2023 was certainly an incredible trip. Her politics are really cool though; with explicit pro-LGBTQ themes and tinges of what might today be considered #SolarPunk.

RE: #Climate change mitigation is cheaper than #adaptation, but we need both 👇. It's rarely 'either/or' in this space, almost always 'both/and'. Which begs the question of how to pay.
After ending #fossilfuel subsidies (innovations like any UK #tax on airline fuel🤯) I come back to #CarbonCurrency as an idea that could work at the required, gigantic scale. HT Delton Chen, Kim Stanley Robinson etc.

Vertikal installierte PV-Module: Effizienz neu gedacht
Vertikal installierte Photovoltaik-Module gewinnen zunehmend an Bedeutung – und das aus gutem Grund. In vielen Projekten mit begrenztem Platzangebot oder besonderen Standortbedingungen sind vertikale PV-Systeme eine durchdachte und effiziente Antwort auf konkrete Herausforderungen.In diesem Beitrag erklären wir, wann und warum vertikal installierte PV-Module sinnvoll sind, welche Effizienzpotenziale sie bieten – und warum sie noch oft unterschätzt werden.Warum vertikale PV-Module?Die kla…

Ayer me leí "El año sin sol". Dedicadle un rato porque merece muchísimo la pena #solarpunk
