I don't know much about #solarpunk, but it often looks like rampant development just with more green photoshopped in. Think of all the extraction embodied in those glass/steel/greenwall renderings. I don't think that will work. We need less development in first world countries, not more, and more equitable distribution of what we have. Downsize, simplify, localize, economize, degrow. The green will follow.
