I am in this article and I don’t like it.

All good. It’s easy to misunderstand, when cyberpunk is the best known (and oldest by far) genre that uses the *punk.

As I understand it, the punk is always anti corporate. In the dystopian cyberpunk, that normally means criminal and violent.

In the utopia that is the solarpunk genre, anti corporate means community and strongly social behaviour.

That is not solar punk. Solar punk is a peaceful vision of the future in harmony with the planetary boundaries. This is militaristic fantasy with more of the color green than usual.

In this case I think the renewables target is better. CO2 reduction is the goal, but having it as a single target can lead to lock-ins. Especially when the target is only low CO2 and not zero.

E.g. you could reach an 80% goal, while still expanding the use of fossil gas to replace coal and lignite. But we need a system that goes to 100% renewables by 2035. And first ramping up gas to then switch to renewables after is what got Germany in this mess.
