Hey Leute,
im Einsatz für die #Energiewende gibt es eine #Petition beim Bundestag, die die Netzdienlichkeit der Kleinspeicher in den Blick nimmt. Das ist wirklich wichtig, wenn wir das mit der Energiewende hinbekommen wollen. Ich habe bereits unterschrieben!

@rycuda - Yeah indeed. SP at its heart is about hope, thinking about a better future and working towards that better future.

That's it. Simple.

Extrapolated out, you get to "use technology towards a specific goal and within sustainable and ethical constraints to address the needs of humanity" and "social justice for all".

Attempting to address both of those and how is where we're at right now.

So many have looked towards already established means, methods, and systems to see what we can use as is or slightly tweaked and many look towards new systems (or upgrated and updated systems).

One thing that I love, is it specifically DOES NOT attempt to create a "one size fits all" sort of monoculture. In fact, the opposite - decentralized and tailored to different populations, cultures, and environments is really important and core.

Heck even in farming monoculture is decried whereas guerilla gardening, decentralized home gardening, and food forests / permaculture reign as the desired methodology instead of massive corporate single crops, etc.

A wide diversity in approach and practice is the way.

So with that you'll have many different, sometimes competing, approaches and it still fits under the umbrella of #solarpunk.

💾 People often think of #Solarpunk in terms of nature and degrowth (which isn't bad!), but data scientists rebuilding a public tool that was dismantled by the authorities? Punk af.

But the inevitable question arises: why is it harder to tell a story about this?

(I'll try to give my answer in the comment so I can let you think about it)

Fast Company · Trump removed an online tool that predicts your climate risk. Rogue data scientists rebuilt itThe FEMA Future Risk Index projected economic losses from disasters like wildfires and floods. It was recently removed from the government’s website.

Need a hopeful story? 22 students at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, 4 years ago, set out to "really inspire people and the market and society to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable future. What we’re trying to do is to show people and show companies what’s already possible.”

So they made a #solarpunk campervan fully equipped with living essentials including a double bed, sofa, kitchen area and a bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. It can fit two people, who can drive, cook breakfast and watch television using just the vehicle’s solar-charged battery.

Then they took it on a tour of Europe driving 1,200 miles without stopping for fuel or plugging in to charge. cnn.com/travel/article/stella-

Is having solar panels #solarpunk on its own?

Is a community element a requirement? Does there have to be anticapitalist elements? Non exploitation/extractive?

The visual vibe is pretty strong and defined, there's colour, light, plants and life merged in with diverse communities, centered around common spaces.

I (personally) haven't seen as much work on defining the core ethos. (links to reading for me to do to correct that greatly appreciated)
