Notice how solar-punk aesthetic envisions comfortable lives built on technology others created. It shows the result of labor without showing the labor itself.

    Sure, but it's equally possible to interpret it in other ways as well. That's the problem here, how things are created is left up to your imagination. Solar-punk aesthetic is equally compatible with people enjoying the fruits of their own labour or a society built on slavery.

    Notice how solarpunk aesthetic envisions a lifestyle completely at odds with its productive forces. No, I don't think your household windmill is going to sustain that level of civilization! You will build 20 MW Chinese wind turbines and you will enjoy your high level of electricity consumption.
