I was having a chat with someone about how they are more "Star trek future rather than Solarpunk future", and I found something off about it but didn't really think about it, but it's this. It's the idea that the key conceit of Star Trek being they are exploring for the hell of it can't really be true, and that exploration in itself is to try and get some dividend off it. Any "Star Trek future" which is not colonial is necessarily a Solarpunk future first.
