AEMarling,

I use a projector to paint buildings with light. If you live near SF, join up with orgs protesting billionaires stealing our future.

AEMarling,

Yes, the hashtags are for the poor souls who use other social sites. Here is a link for more info on APEC. ilpsusinfo.wordpress.com/no2apec/

AEMarling,

Powering it is the hard part. I use a lithium battery in constant danger of melting.

Yes, I did write that. More to the point, I wrote a solarpunk mystery novel, which I’ll post about on Monday.

Given the great response, I will post more relevant projections here. What community tag should I use?

Reuse as a sort of solarpunk societal default and the industry-scale operations that could enable it - worldbuilding question

For a long while, I’d been picturing a society that handled reuse the way I do IRL - if you have a thing, you make it last as long as possible, fix it if you can, and when it’s finally worn out you find another use for it (even if just as component parts). I’d imagined the transfer of usable items would be handled...

AEMarling,

You’re picturing a library economy. Large items will be delivered by trike taxi or truck. I’m releasing a novel featuring this next month.

AEMarling,

I like the idea of a truck both delivering and picking up items. People would follow it to return items, and it would drive slow enough to enable this. I also like volunteer bicyclists delivering items while exercising.

AEMarling,

No biggie. EV’a are a capitalist scam anyway and a dead-end technology.

AEMarling,

“To earn revenue, the company is selling carbon removal credits to companies paying a premium to offset their own emissions.” So, this isn’t any help yet. But it will be an important technology to develop because otherwise it takes 300 years for carbon to leave the atmosphere.

AEMarling,

Survival is a protest of capitalism at this point.

AEMarling,

“ With the price of renewables dropping precipitously, however, the project’s economics have worsened. Some of the initial backers started pulling out of the project earlier in the decade, although the numbers continued to fluctuate in the ensuing years.” Ah well. Let’s wait for fusion.

This old-school building material could take over city skylines (wapo.st)

The foundational materials of the past century are energy-intensive and polluting. The production of steel is responsible for 7 to 9 percent of global carbon emissions. The cement industry produces about 8 percent. Efforts are underway to make “green” steel and concrete, but a full transformation is still years away....

AEMarling,

High rises aren’t efficient, but

“ The sweet spot for mass timber, he argued, is not a showy high-rise but the vast number of mid-rise buildings: schools, apartment blocks, auditoriums, sports arenas, warehouses, bus depots and office parks

AEMarling,

That was a nerdy AF analogy, but I dig it.

AEMarling,

👏👏👏

AEMarling,

Solarpunk Prompts, if you’re a writer.

AEMarling,

They are at it again, trying to block solar on churches and schools. Tell Gavin Newsom to get his CPUC in line.

AEMarling,

Shame on Gavin Newsom for killing California’s rooftop solar industry. PG&E owns him.

AEMarling,

As in deconstructing false narratives used to greenwash crypto.

AEMarling,

If you live in CA, call the Governor to sign the bill.
