Do we need villains or antagonists? Do we need people who are opposed to the solarpunk concept to add drama? Do we even need drama?
There are many ways to explore conflict and disagreement in something like solarpunk that doesn’t require a Big Bad.

Or trying to support each other through a significant loss, such as death or rejection, and how that impacts the community.
