Just to be clear, I haven't researched the genre much. I think it's very fascinating but i went straight off aesthetics and the vibe I got from the pictures i found. I hope everyone enjoys!

As far as I understood, Solarpunk intentionally is a utopia and rather hopeful. But is it void of conflict? Do things like climate crisis and counscious intelligent AI still exist (they are at least veeeery probable?)? Or can you imagine any other conflicts, like something social?

What does appropriate technology mean for you then? Technology that is advanced enough to tackle the climate crisis? Or does it just... not happen? Tech that is not killing the planet? (But what if the planet is already inevitably damaged?)

I'm asking because Vaillant all but says we're going to face fires we have never faced before for decades to centuries to come due to climate change.

And I'm sitting here wondering how a solar punk community would deal with firefighting? Traditional structure, wildlands and when it's the wildlands urban interface?

Thoughts? Comments?
