My issue with Solarpunk, given that it puts quite a bit of emphasis on wanting to inspire real world change is just how pastoral it always seems. When you see works inspired by it, it's always a nice walkable neighborhood with a bunch of cool eco friendly gadgetry[1] and so on.
It always seems very escapist to me, like a sort of techno Hobbingen view of the future. Is there a work in the Solarpunk genre that throws a Solarpunk society in a military confrontation? Especially today competitive and defense concerns again seem to drive energy and technological development.
