I agree! Especially here in the US. Solarpunk has gigantic potential in the Americas overall. I’ve got big travel plans next year I’m already saving up for but I’ll definitely be finding my way to a convention somewhere in the relatively near future.

I fucking love Adam. I wondered where he went. Thanks!

Where was I to find the info on this? I’d like to go if another is held.

Update: I found the link for it at the bottom of the article. It’s a german event, also.

I agree. They’re not intrinsically related, there is a tiny overlap due to a schism in transhumanist thought. I consider myself a natural transhumanist. Usual transhumanism is entirely cyberpunk territory.

Finally. Jesus fucking christ, took them long enough to do something useful with these sites.

I wish you much luck! <3

That anybody can disagree with this is truly flabbergasting. China should not be the sole decider of whether our planet lives or dies. I don’t… I don’t get how anyone, even the Chinese, can disagree with that.

Update: I think it’s the petrochemical industry. They’ve corrupted all the green energy focused subs here super badly from what I’ve seen so far. I think we’ve caught their attention already - which may actually be a good sign. We must be doing something effective enough to warrant it.

A good solution to this is for less dependency on them. This is the nature of them taking too much, and that’s just… really not going to work out great for them, nor anyone.

I get where you’re coming from. It’s a tandem tech and should stay in that consideration. It’s a diversity of tactics in the fight against petrochems. That industry is too big for just one avenue, at least of the ones we currently have.

I agree it provides a more regular “stream” of energy. I think perhaps this focus on having regular unlimited energy at all times of night and day is a little unnecessary. People do sleep, and they should sleep during the night for maximum health, based on research. I find energy storage an important aspect of sustainability. We should have storage regardless of the system. I’m not against using it, all I said was it’s not my favorite.

I missed this survey. I find the gender demographics intriguing. I’m unsure why this survey was so very male-dominated. That’s really something to ponder about. Is it an internet issue, or is it something about the ideology itself? Are women in some way being restricted from solarpunk thought? This is phenomena of note in leftism, as well. I find it very perplexing, especially considering the shared goal of equality in these ideologies. I cannot believe women wouldn’t be incredibly attracted to solarpunk, it can quite seriously be summed up with one word: care. If women aren’t at least equal in their interest in the ideology, it seems to me something is very wrong. Thanks for doing the survey though. Nice to see what’s going on in the community, statistically.

I don’t really think it is especially in comparison to petrochemicals, but hydroelectric dams also isn’t my favorite green energy. They displace too much matter while also reducing the wildlife of the project area for me to feel comfortable with it. I think perhaps there’s further ways water could be used to make electricity that are underestimated or even unknown. I like “old-school” hydroelectrics, watermills. In my opinion this is an example really of individualistic green energy being a better environmental decision on the whole. Such will reduce the damage of our energy needs. Power to the people.

Idiot troll. This platform is rife with y’all. It’s become an issue, frankly. Honestly worse about it than Reddit, which is super unexpected. Fact is that solar is one of the best green energy industries that exist. A person using their big money to help it, especially in an INTERNATIONAL manner like this, isn’t a negative. We don’t have a method of free perpetual energy if you didn’t notice, because somebody fucking murdered Nikola Tesla and destroyed his research to this effect. Probably there’s even further people that have tried and been murdered and erased. You can thank capitalism for that, which if you ever bothered to read, you would know I am fully opposed to.

I’m also for community solutions and I don’t oppose this. The rich are unfortunately also part of the world, they should be utilized as much as anybody in this crisis. More so, arguably.

Oh my fuck, finally a rich person did something actually. I never thought I’d see the day.

Interesting guide. Thanks for sharing. A bit concerning the site doesn’t have a soil testing guide anymore, though. The theories in the article let alone this subject itself kinda rely on soil science. Regardless, crop rotation is very important and should be utilized more in all farming. Monocropping is extremely damaging to the environment because it destroys soil diversity, which reduces nutrients and reduces the wildlife ecosystem involved in the process.

Now that is some seriously adorable art. Thanks for sharing. I’m starting work on making my garden. It’s likely going to be a years long project due to the area I’m working with and doing it all myself. I plan to get pictures before and after and post it along with the design sheet and materials. I’m going to try and make it as clean energy as I can, and I’m going to be doing some soil experiments. I’ve also just arrived to this server and am likely going to be starting up some punk communities that need more representation later in the year.
