Cooking and Heating With Direct Solar Power (No Batteries)

As the grid loses power in heatwaves, and communities & landscapes face mounting extraction for battery supply chains, this video shows how we can make environmentally just transitions to solar at scale — cooking, heating, refrigerating food, and living our daily lives.

This is especially important in the context of mining, and furthers the vision of the newly announced Indigenous Peoples Principles and Protocols for Just Transition. The organization featured in the video, Living Energy Farm, has worked in solidarity to train communities in the Caribbean and on the East Coast on these systems. They are now sending supplies to relief efforts in North Carolina.

They are also looking to support this vision in urban and residential areas through new housing projects, resilience hubs, and retrofits/conversions to existing buildings.
