I first heard of Solarpunk from the Imaginary Worlds podcast: https://www.imaginaryworldspodcast.org/episodes/solarpunk-the-future https://www.imaginaryworldspodcast.org/episodes/solarpunk-th... Which prompted me to post the Wikipedia link 4 years ago, several others posted similar links prior to that, and others have posted interesting links here too: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=3&prefix=false&query=solarpunk&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=3&prefix=false&qu... Fiction is nice, but from a technology angle key technology would be - solar - wind - perhaps geothermal (microwave beam borehole drilling down 7km) - battery - microgrid (district scale) - grid forming technology (or maybe using DC power instead of AC..?) - systems that can be switched on to using surplus power, and off at peak demand - of course the whole underlying social structure. Markets can help in self organising, until they start to become the system… Handy podcast is Redefining Energy, although this has never mentioned Solarpunk, but has lots of the technology, and new ways of implementing much of it: https://redefining-energy.com/ https://redefining-energy.com/ (Fixed ghastly typos once I read over this post)
