Balcony solar is coming to the U.S. βš‘πŸ’šπŸ™Œ
One Bronx resident is already doing it illegally. She calls it "solar civil disobedience" with a smile! (see pic 😁)
Would you buy one if your state legalised it?

A $2.6 million Xprize for positive sci-fi sounds like great news for solarpunk. We're not so sure.

The 1st mention of solarpunk in 2008 was inspired by a cargo ship being pulled by a giant kite πŸͺ

Now kites are powering a town in Ireland and blimp turbines are generating megawatts in China ⚑
