I’m kinda curious what do you think of liquid trees? and does it count as solarpunk?

I mean firstly, I’d say that my opinion of what is and isn’t solarpunk is obviously just one opinion, and not better or worse than anyone else’s. I still hold these opinions with a fair amount of conviction, though, so here’s mine:

When I first came across the concept of a liquid tree, I thought it sounded like quite a techbro climate solution, trying to make a machine that did something nature already does. And as a strategy for greening cities when urban arboriculture is an option, it certainly feels like a redundancy.

HOWEVER. As I saw someone much more informed than me post about (would link the post but I can’t find it of course), not every environment is suited to tree planting. In deserts and other hostile places, a machine that makes energy and sequesters carbon and takes up minimal space sounds like an excellent addition to any street corner. Like any solution, it’s not either/or.
