Quote: "The solar powered website bucks against these trends. To drop energy use far below that of the average website, we opted for a back-to-basics web design, using a static website instead of a database driven content management system. "

For a website that proud itself on being against trends, I would had more appreciation if they went against the trend to use 3rd party sites and be totally on their own. My NoScript reports for them these as 3rd party scripts: google-analytics.com, google.com, googlesyndication.com, gstatic.com, jquery.com, s3.amazonaws.com, statcounter.com, typepad.com

This reminds me of that joke with electric cars that recharge their battery using a diesel generator.

That's because you're not on the solar powered website. Hackernews is linking to the old site. https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2020/01/how-sustainable-is...

In the distant future after humanity crumbles there will be only one website left, available for 4 hours a day, and the content won't render correctly because they didn't self host their scripts or css.
