#solarpunk going strong at the #solarcon2022. Activists laying it down on the fact that we don't need to next tech fix to make things better, we need to change the structures and governance around technology and its access and make it work for people rather than profit and neo-colonial exploitation
Going beyond the notion of market value also sounds hella #solarpunk
#solarisecon
Context-dependent technology solutions and applications are the #solarpunk solution.
The most disruptive technology is the one that improves local lives and solves local needs the most.

Food sovereignty FTW!
#thisisforyoucomradecatilina
And also energy sovereignty, and healthcare sovereignty and tech sovereignty.
Building local capacity and relocalising production is the way
Make things where the things are needed. Meeting needs for yourself >> having things available.
#solarpunk
The necessary shift in technology for a #solarpunk future is away from a profit-based value system and a bad-faith use of technology to reinforce the system and monetize its use through the back door (like bad faith use of big data stealthy collected from users).
How to get there is the important question. How do we build a community-based information and technology sovereignty system?
Mutual aid is a #solarpunk tech solution too.
I am loving the Technology panel at #solarcon2022
