Finally getting my copy of @billmckibben.bsky.social's new book. SUN DAY this weekend: a celebration of everything solar! Solar is radical—I didn't understand quite how much until I got my own powerplant on my roof. All the reasons why and how to get started: https://susankayequinn.com/2025/04/solar-how-to-get-started-and-why-you-should.html #climatechange #solar
"We use the same word for both political/social power and the power that runs our machines....it's easy for tyrants and corporations to (use fossil fuels) to make political power even more unevenly distributed." @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social https://www.meditationsinanemergency.com/the-future-is-coming-and-its-literally-sunny-notes-on-the-solar-revolution/

I used to be part of this academic research group at the U of Alberta studying this very thing https://www.justpowers.ca/about/ Am so glad to see it being more widely discussed!
@saintsally oh interesting! Thanks for the link!
Yeah, I try to spread that idea as much as I can, the absolutely *radical* nature of decentralized power. But the more folks who have it, the more who figure it out... and tell others.
And this: "Having solar means directly defunding fossil fuel propaganda. It’s a fantastic bonus."
