It costed nothing to say Kenya instead of Africa and Solar power revolution instead of solarpunk

While the funds pour in, yes, startup are so nice, let’s see this fully integrated vertical stack with sensor for remote shut down how evolves with time…

The same article could be done with the fediverse “solarpunk is already happening on the internet” or whatever good thing is happening in the world

Sorry I just feel like the author is sugar coating a startup, a bit de-politicizing solarpunk and looking down on Africa complexity e_e

Still an interesting read
