We have a lot of environmental challenges ahead of us. A forward-thinking World's Fair could paint a picture of how we get from here to a carbon-negative economy: solar & wind, battery tech, autonomous cars and less car-oriented cities, better telepresence, carbon sequestering, architecture, etc.

For me the concept of Solarpunk(as opposed to cyberpunk) is leaning in the right direction that way.

Solarpunk needs a lot of development though. One issue seems to be it too often coincides with someone's idea of a futuristic Utopia.

Hence it is conflict free, rather boring and doesn't do much to stir interest.

I like the term solarpunk! I'm gonna describe myself that way from now on.
