@eldritch48 love the concept, I also see it for a #solarpunk setting.

@justinkd My current project is basically the conflict between cyberpunk and "solarpunk", although I really hate that term. If you aren't flipping off the man, you aren't punk, no matter what marketing pukes want to tag things with.

@justinkd Solarpunk as a term is as dumb as every political scandal being a 'gate'.

@justinkd Just call it "eco-utopian sci-fi" and move on.

@eldritch48 I can understand the argument against #solarpunk as a genera as it currently stands but, I see it differently than many others such as, the stories should be about the fight not the ideals realized. For example #cyberpunk is about the fight against the corporate powers not the dystopia as a whole. Solarpunk stories should take place in a dystopia, not a paradise.

@justinkd The only thing with that is that showing how the upper class use "solar" to keep the peons down is a lot harder....and that's what you'd have to do to make a real "Solarpunk" Perhaps if the rich had that solar-powered tech, and the only thing the poor had were sticks and the light of the sun...

@eldritch48 @justinkd solar powered water cannons is just cyberpunk though. Solarpunk is where you have to ask around to find the old person who knows about the book about how the servants poisoned all the rich people and lived happily ever after. If that's what insolates your wafer.

@octarine_wiggle @justinkd Once again, I have zero problems with eco-utopian stories, I think we need more of them. Just keep them away from my punk, it's as ridiculous as "Solar Noir" would be.
