Solarpunk, climate, renewables and ecology related news and discussions related to Scotland. Be braw, respect the slrpnk.net [http://slrpnk.net] rules, and generally be braw. The banner image is of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (from Newburgh beach). This is an offshore wind farm which began its life in 2003 and was used as a test case of offshore wind, for other projects around the world to learn and build upon. It was objected to by Donald Trump for spoiling the view from his golf course, which caused great ecological harm to the local sand dunes, and his objections were defeated in court in 2014 and 2015.

Hello Scotland@lemmy.world,

I have started a new community on the slrpnk.net server called Solarpunk Scotland. Its purpose is to be a place with a focus on Solarpunk, climate, renewables, and ecology in and around Scotland. If that interests you, come and have a look and help grow our community!

Don’t know what Solarpunk is?

Solarpunk is a Revolt of Hope Against Despair, these links explain it better than I ever could:

    Sweet, I’m a big renewables fan (see what I did there?). I’m often posting stories about it in here, nice to have someone else doing some posting on the topic!

      I see what you did there!

      Aye, I thocht this was a place for everything Scotland whereas Solarpunk Scotland has a particular focus. But if you post something relevant to Solarpunk here, then please feel free to crosspost to Solarpunk Scotland! And I’ll do the same to here if you’re (as community mod) happy with that?
