#solarpunk can focus on what's missing there, on building parallel infrastructures and caring for people without romanticizing the struggle for its own sake.
There's enough drama to write proper tensions and conflicts:
- The climate disasters
- Failing infrastructure and supply chains
- Humanitarian needs
- Collaborating with other, messy humans
- Ideological clashes with other people who still want to help
We don't need to go Mad Max to imagine high stakes in a #climate story.
