#solarenergy

There seems to be this idea that the solarpunk movement is inherently difficult to take part in, which can discourage people before they even start. I'm disabled and as much as i would love to take part in community cleanups and other things like that, I just cant. That doesnt mean I cant do anything though!! There are so many different ways you can do your part to improve our society. Love reading? Learn everything you can and share your knowledge with people. Like making art? Make posters spreading the movement's ideals. Good with social media? Raise awareness for important causes, or community events.

I wonder, as someone who'd love to have solar power once I own a house, but worry about power outages, is it possible to set it up as supplementary?

This is an organization that seeks to establish community owned solar energy across the US. In a world of corporate interests dominating the field, this is a workplace democracy, and a nonprofit, meaning you can be far more confident that they have the people’s interests at heart. If there was ever a place to send your money to build a sustainable future in America, this would be the place. Make a bookmark if you won’t donate now.

"This is the central insight of the work: the energy transition is not constrained by a lack of land, but by the competing use and value of land."

The Past The Future

Hey friend, just wanted to let you know your post really spoke to me. I've been in a really hard spot due to the state of the world, but your reminders to live a happy life and find hope amidst the chaos made me feel a lot better. Just know that your writing and input really made a difference. Thanks a lot :-)
