A lot of #solarpunk visions might seem sterile because they show a #utopia already realized, but with no trace of the struggle, no cultural shifts arising from the period of change.
If I was to imagine a stabilized, sustainable Solarpunk world it would seem very alien and unintuitive to us.
It's because it's not a technological change that's needed - but a cultural one.
Things we already can do but can't perceive or describe them as viable.
