Prediction: human hibernation will reduce aircraft emissions
Human hibernation has made some strides recently. I think a year or so ago a Wired mag article said the only significant unsolved problem is shivering. They have a cocktail of drugs that makes hibernation possible apart from the fact that people shiver at low temps....

Truly sustainable solar panels (solar.lowtechmagazine.com)
Solar panels have always bothered me because they require such intense manufacturing and usage of scarce resources. TLDR of article: “Many people will argue that if low-tech solar panels are less efficient, we would need more solar panels to produce the same power output. Consequently, the resources saved by low-tech...

Just came back from the "intermediary vehicles exhibit" in rural France. Very solarpunky-vibes, AMA
I just made a long post about it in the French-speaking solarpunk community, and I don’t really have the courage to translate everything, but DeepL should do a good job. Here is a summary and a photo-dump, don’t hesitate to ask me things about it....
