Can Passive House design and construction help achieve a Solarpunk future where people can thrive? In this third video of a four-part series, Zack Semke shares how our "Business as Usual" assumption for warming has been reset, the headwinds to climate action, and the virtuous circles we can harness to destroy demand for fossil fuels, like Passive House deployment!
