Germany likely to pass 50% mark for renewable power this year - minister

Reply in thread

In this case I think the renewables target is better. CO2 reduction is the goal, but having it as a single target can lead to lock-ins. Especially when the target is only low CO2 and not zero.

E.g. you could reach an 80% goal, while still expanding the use of fossil gas to replace coal and lignite. But we need a system that goes to 100% renewables by 2035. And first ramping up gas to then switch to renewables after is what got Germany in this mess.

Solar Punk Future

Reply in thread

All good. It's easy to misunderstand, when cyberpunk is the best known (and oldest by far) genre that uses the *punk.

As I understand it, the punk is always anti corporate. In the dystopian cyberpunk, that normally means criminal and violent.

In the utopia that is the solarpunk genre, anti corporate means community and strongly social behaviour.
