Vlog #007: Party Until The World Ends

Fund Renewable Energy released a new song this week, tied to the evolving project Club Climate Crisis. The single—a mashup blending Playboi Carti and Skrillex—marks a continuation of the project’s playful yet urgent mission: pairing music and nightlife culture with climate awareness.

Originally imagined under the name Club Climate Bunker, the project was rebranded as Club Climate Crisis to better reflect the immediacy of the moment. As the creator noted in the update, “we’re all already living in the climate crisis,” referencing the hurricanes and extreme weather unfolding in real time. The idea is to create a traveling club night that doubles as both a celebration and a symbolic call to action, without requiring the events themselves to be overtly climate-themed.

Beyond music, the update revealed a more ambitious development: the realization that crowdfunding the transition to renewable energy is not only possible but increasingly accessible. With recent advances in coding tools powered by AI, alongside platforms like Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, decentralized frameworks could enable communities to directly fund renewable projects. The creator stressed that while no single effort could finance the entire energy transition, every crowdfunded project signals public will and adds pressure on governments to accelerate their timelines.

The update also included lighter personal reflections—from the search for a salmon avocado roll in a warming world to the humid Chicago night air—but returned repeatedly to the central theme: urgency. In the U.S., the update argued, people often act as though things are fine, while in other parts of the world the shift to renewable energy is already underway. The symbolic power of projects like Club Climate Crisis is to bridge that gap, blending culture and action to push for change.

As the video concludes, Fund Renewable Energy hints at the next steps: more music, more parties, and the development of a crowdfunding framework for renewable energy. The message is clear—waiting on politicians is no longer enough. A decentralized, creative transition is possible, and the time to act is now.
