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

Solar panels could be about to get much better at capturing sunlight in c/[email protected]

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

It will be interesting to see how much U.S. interest there is in an iPhone and (Google) Android alternative that packs sustainable and ethical smarts.

Post Food Scarcity (www.justasolarpunk.com)
 

"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. "
