I’ve heard Roman concrete can withstand and even be strengthened by salt water.

I’m amazed the entire downtown was elevated. Do you know enough about that subject to have an opinion about elevating the Ferry Building in San Francisco? That has to be done for it to survive.

Yeah. I constantly feel under qualified to write solarpunk fiction. But I do it because it needs to be done.

I’m writing a story about San Francisco, where greedy fucks filled in the parts of the bay to sell more real estate. Now those areas are going to flood. Worse, toxic groundwater will rise there first and make it unlivable.

To buffer the rest of the city against floods and toxins, I will portray wetlands restoration. What I’m not sure about is how wide an area the wetlands has to be.

The solarpunk reason to engage with these sorts of swamp cities is that they contain lots of infrastructure and housing that you would hate to lose. Reusing existing buildings is more efficient than building new stuff from scratch, especially high rises.

Cities would be far safer without cars.

Boeing planes were also marketed as people friendly.

Wine-cave Dem Newsom also responsible for destroying California’s rooftop solar industry, through his crony-crowded CPUC.

Over a million at this point. Google Newsom donations from PG&E.

Great to hear. Thanks for sharing. 💚

Projected on X HQ in San Francisco.

EV’s won’t save anything but the auto industry. We need to rebuild with more density and focus on public and active transportation.

Absolutely horrifying. And Newsom continues to destroy the rooftop solar industry in favor of big-utility companies like PG&E.

Cars are a dead-end technology that leave too many people dead by collisions and even more from unsustainable infrastructure.

Congress may need to be reminded that this is the people asking nicely.

If you live in the US, tell Congress not to give more billions away to Israel. Also, Turkey amd Azerbaijan are committing genocide with our tax dollars. Turkey is bombimg Rojava to pieces, and that liberated direct democracy is asking for the protection of a no-fly zone.

“In places like Africa and Asia, smaller electric motorcycles, mopeds and rickshaws are already displacing nearly one million barrels of oil per day.”

This is the future of personal transportation.

More recently, Gavin’s cronies in the CPUC also slashed benefits for churches, schools, and farms from installing solar. Horrible. I love running past solar shading school parking lots. Now it is impossible.

Yup. Projected in Oakland.

Crypto is a Ponzi scheme that burns the world. Tech bros froth at the idea of greenwashing their scam by saying it is solarpunk. No.

Relax. EV’s really are the best choice for auto-industry executives.
