Dr. Tao unveils MEER’s Modular Floating Mirror/PV Platform at #Arcticrepair2025 in Cambridge!

🌿 Scalable, bamboo-based design with potential to offset 4 GtCO₂e/year at just $40/ton CO₂e.
🔍 Features: 18 m² reflective surface, radiative cooling equivalent to -2.3 tons CO₂e per unit.

I like the idea of #frugalTech' as described here. Fits in with #heritageSkills, #appropriateTechnology approach from the 1970s, and more recently #solarpunk thinking about future societies. Technology without community is rarely, if ever, an answer.

Some ill-informed critics of #degrowth see it as a return to the Stone Age. It isn't. Perhaps the best way to think about it is via the notion of #appropriatetechnology.

decades ago Whole Earth Quarterly cover story featured a photo of 1920s? Los Angeles w/ a multitude of roofs with this tech

insane that this is not widespread across the USA

fabrication, installation, maintenance - all good jobs
