A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.

We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!

This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.

Rules:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct

  2. No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.

  3. Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

  4. Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

Renewable energy - solar panels and wind turbines - have become staggeringly cheap in recent years, beating fossil fuels on price. Great news for the economy, energy security, and combatting climate change. But there's a catch. What do you do when the wind's not blowing or the sun's not shining? Now, though, the final piece of the puzzle is here like never before: batteries. Batteries have seen their price absolutely crash. And that's unlocking round-the-clock renewable energy that's cheaper than burning fossil fuels. Given the fuel crisis triggered by the war on Iran, this couldn't come at a more crucial moment.
