Wtf is this? Is this person confusing some sci-fi art style with reality?
I think so. I mean, I'll agree that a lot of the art tagged as solarpunk is utopian, unactionable, and generally gives a poor first impression of the rest of the genre/movement. The chromed scifi megacities with trees stuck to the sides of skyscrapers are about as attainable as concept art of a flying city or a moon colony. If they never looked past the paintings on deviantart or artstation or whatever they'd probably get a pretty skewed perspective on it.
But I'd say the answer to that is just to make more art that reflects the rest of the movement better since the answers and discussions and real life projects are all happening
