@mcc I mean, if someone, uhm, happens upon a dysfunctional, could-have-been-potentially-vandalized-but-who-knows-really Flock camera it is *only prudent* to extract the potentially hazardous lithium cells from the derelict caracass and ("dispose them" would be an option here, but in the name of reduce-reuse-recycle why not) repurpose them as one's own cobbled-together battery packs??

@mcc Creative reuse of abandoned/underused infrastructure. Maybe something like this but less fossil fueled: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norry

@mcc breaking into corpo offices and stealing the solar panels from the roof to power the community centre.

@mcc maybe you're just a common weed, growing in disused parking lots, immune to even the most powerful herbicides ...

@mcc Wait, so my legal and somewhat expensive purchase of solar panels professionally installed on the roof and integrated with the city power grid doesn't embody my utter disregard for authority and hatred of conformity?

@mcc

@mcc solar panels so big it blocks out the sun, resulting in ecosystem collapse

Or that idea the AI CEOs were floating around where they build AI datacenters in space, but assume a bunch of small time crooks do it?

@mcc Benn Jordan appears in the distance holding armfuls of equipment looking like a mad max set designer

@mcc Spain once passed a law to enable a tax for self consumption solar, so you could conceivably install panels in a non visible place (your patio/your cottage in the middle of nowhere) and obtain solar illegally

@mcc There's something here about how punk is an intrinsically reactionary movement defined in opposition to a normative structure, which is weird because a lot of solarpunk shows a world where solar is the *norm*. That's solar utopianism!

... which I guess means the first third of North's "Notes from the Burning Age" is... possibly carbonpunk, in a world where renewables *are* the norm. Weird thought.

@mcc Copper theft, but you use the wiring instead of selling it

@mcc "Stick it the Man, not the Planet! Our artisanal, small-batch spray paint is the perfect biodegradable baton with which to bash the bourgeoisie. Your anarchist-artist journey begins with only the finest, eco-friendly and ethically-sourced pigments. Combined with sustainably-harvested, organic plant oils, each paint is lovingly hand-milled by our color specialists, and packaged in refillable, hand-pumped aerosol cans made from 100% recycled steel."

@mcc use lenses to focus sunlight and start fires/melt infrastructure?

@mcc

Steal solar panels from flock cameras to power your tiny home and live off grid in middle of the city.

@mcc
Place large mirrors in the sky to divert sunlight into your own solar farm.
