High speed is not just dangerous. It's socially destructive. Above 15 mph, you can no longer recognize faces. You can't greet your neighbor. The street ceases to be a social space and becomes a sewer for metal. Speed transforms the street from a commons into […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

Above 15 mph, you can't recognize faces anymore.
You can't greet your neighbor. The street stops being a social space and becomes a sewer for metal.
Speed transforms the street from a commons into a corridor. From a place into a pipe.
And we call this "progress."

Back in the 70's the "hippies" told us that we could power the world with wind and solar, we just need incremental improvements and to scale things up, but the capitalists said no. Guess who was right!? Now we just need to acknowledge the other things they […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

A wind turbine is erected in the hills of Hunan province, part of an 18-tower, 88-megawatt wind farm. China installed roughly 50 gigawatts of new wind power in the first half of this year—amounting to some 10,000 turbines this size.

A 90-meter needle threading through town, a turbine blade makes its way to a hilltop in Hunan province. China has installed nearly half of the world’s wind power capacity, and although wind is growing more slowly than solar, it generates more reliable power.

Idling before sunrise in a Nanjing maintenance yard, electric bullet trains wait to be dispatched along the high-speed tracks that span China. At speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour, the 1300-kilometer journey from Beijing to Shanghai can take just over 4 hours.

Solar panels erected in a river’s shallows provide shade for geese as well as power for China’s grid. The country’s bounty of solar power has cut electricity costs and driven investments in batteries and other technologies for storing it at night and on cloudy days.

"In a world at war against hope and imagination, Solarpunks would dare to imagine and fight for everything those in power stand against. Our uphill battle seeks to plant the seeds of re-imagination in the minds of many."

"Solarpunk looks beyond the limitations of capitalism and beyond the current rift between humanity and nature, focusing on what we should hope for, rather than on just what to avoid. And most importantly, solarpunk motivates action to build the future, today."

There were just so many great #SolarPunk quotes on #Andrewism 's updated video, I just had to meme them youtu.be/u03hoO3QueM 1/5

Solarpunk isn't about slapping shrubbery and solar panels on concrete skyscrapers. Solarpunk isn't punk without its opposition to the systems of domination that exploit us and its pursuit of a transformation of work, community, and society as a whole. Solarpunk is not a vision that can be imposed from above. Rather, it is a prefigurative project and vision of liberation we must all participate in, shaped by our unique local conditions and individual needs, as we imagine and work towards a better society.

Great Podcast from @notjustbikes on Guerrilla Urbanism. This quote I thought was really excellent. #Urbanism youtu.be/mMomhNmOJH0?si=QRAdW50zkp7…

“That's the case with a lot of these gorilla urbanism things. The people doing them know what is best because they live there. They experience it all the time. These people know and they know often better than the city knows because the city have their list of things that are important and the city have their priorities but people at the city can't know every location and so that's where these things work better because the places that need them the most get fixed first.
Leverage the community and the end result is always going to be better.”
