Seems to me that many people have a misunderstanding of what solarpunk is, or at least at what is it's core: hope for the future, one which is not only sustainable but ecological (think Leopoldian land ethics, but its more indigenous environmental ethics).
It isn't green capitalism, or any capitalism at that. Aesthetically it is not cityscapes with grass or solar panels on skyscraper rooftops.
It is moving beyond that. To me, the essence of solarpunk is actually what indigenous people around the world have lived for centuries before settler-colonialism, genocide, and forced assimilation.
