We’ve added a lot of subscribers since we first published our deep-dive on what solarpunk is back in 2022. That’s why we’re sharing a concise explanation of our scene in this post. It’s for all of you who’ve come more recently to this newsletter and as a refresher for those OGs who have been with us for a long time (love you guys).

100%. Also humans seem to have a natural tendency to ideate about the apocalypse that goes beyond the rational. All kinds of people have been predicting the end of the world for millenia at minimum, and so far they've all been wrong. It's a lot less likely than we think it is, and so predicating our ideas and actions on this fringe situation that is unlikely to happen in our lifetimes renders us less able to act in the conditions that will exist.
