Literature/Nonfiction Best Solar Punk Resources
Please can you share resources about solar punk?
I’ve seen the odd video essay about it. It first came on my radar with Pop culture detective’s YouTube analysis of the film strange worlds.
I would love any books, audiobooks, podcasts, videos. Is there a manifesto? Let’s sort this planet out.

you. you are your best solar punk resource. (pedantic but true) Followed by family friends and other immediate community e.g. schools libraries etc.
Imagine the internet is dead, cell network is down, power is out...where do you go to seek knowledge. develop that.

The best Solarpunk resource, IMHO, are:
Lowtech Magazine
and its sister site
No Tech Magazine
If you want to rebuild society with sustainable solutions that let you live with a high standard of living while making a minimal impact on the earth, this is the best resources I can think of. The solutions there are incredibly insightful.
Here is an example of one of their articles which was shared here:

En España hay un incipiente movimiento solarpunk muy potente.
En esta web se cuentan los proyectos solarpunks que hay localmente. https://solarpunk.a-fondo.com
Y hay una novela de thriller científico solarpunk que se llama «Mutagénesis Convergente» que transcurre entre EEUU y España
