🌏 Sometimes climate doomerism can take a toll on our psyche. As an act of climate optimism, SOLARPUNKS joined forces with @DER_Task_Force and @stereogum to throw Brooklyn’s First Solar-Powered Concert on Saturday to show that decarbonization is happening faster than we think. 🌞 We wanted to show the viability of running a full concert production fully on the power of the sun (no diesel generators or fuel) while also tapping into the decentralized power of community microgrids. While there are larger productions running fully on battery now (woohoo!), they are typically powered by diesel given our current fossil fuel paradigm. 🔋 Learn more about this proof-of-concept for mobile battery energy storage systems (mBESS) and community-owned clean energy generation in the link below! 🔌 Special thanks to @SunbeltRentals @sustainable914 @hopehydration, and Pond Creative for their in-kind support! 🎸 Shouts to the artists who entrusted us to run their production fully on clean electrons with no diesel generator back-ups: @notionofanguish , @graceives4u , @modelactriz and @psymonspine ! 👫 @James_McGinniss @coreygpt @christinachu @duncancampbell @RyanLeas @cmetelitsa @allisonwannop @nicole_j_green @SolarKarin @RachelCabitt @timothyhade 📸 @emilioherce solarpunks.club/projects/bro…
