We Suck at Promoting Climate Action, Here is How We Change That in c/solarpunk
[–] sam_uk 2 points 1 year ago

I kind of agree, but we do need stories of what that change is so we don't end up with Ecofascism by accident.

AFAIK solar panels are currently ~23% efficient. So ~30% is a big deal https://www.cleanenergyreviews.info/blog/most-efficient-solar-panels

No I'm not OP. Thanks for the reply. Food is one of the few universals we all have in common.

"For some reason a very crucial component to worldbuilding seems to be an afterthought in most fiction I've consumed. And I am talking about the most consumable of consumables: Good Food.

Not just the protagonist ate something, that's boring. I want to know what the texture was like, the aromas, seasoning, cooking techniques, how it compared to previous meals, what memories did it evoke, how does the food tie into the culture, what makes this a unique experience to the individual? Fantasy just doesn't feel alive without food to flesh out the local culture. "

Not as polished as Cloudron.io or Elest.io, but it is FLOSS
