    Very cool! I’m mostly excited to see the boom of the solar energy industry. Not just for selling but also for personal use. Feel like a whole new thing is coming that somehow not tainted by another industry hidden interests

    Would be nice to see this at animal sanctuaries, though I can imagine cows trying to sit on the panels 🥲

    This is why I have to unsubscribe from “solarpunk” spaces. All the bleeding carnists not understanding the horror and damage of animal industry.

    Bye!

      Wait. Is this a thing? Solarpunk is pro animal agriculture and meat? I’m naive to the movement/philosophy/genre, but still I’d find that surprising.

      As for the video, it’s about farming practices today adopting solar. Pretty hard to avoid the reality of animal agriculture in that context.

        It’s also worth pointing out that herding/grazing animals play an important role in the ecosystem and soil restoration. They can and should be incorporated in solarpunk whether or not they are consumed. Our best indicator of when humans arrived at a location is when the local megafauna died off.
