@jpoesen Permaculture is more concerned with ethics than low tech (The ethics of earth care, people care and fair share). Practitioners tend to focus on appropriate technology. Solar panels have a negative environmental impact to manufacture, but are miles better than the alternatives. Sodium ion batteries are a better technology than lithium based chemistries, etc. There is a an emphasis on natural building, but doesn't forbid things like foam glass insulation (despite embodied carbon).
