Coming to our senses : Beyond the hubristic illusions of green technology
Författare
Summary, in English
Unsustainable resource flows and obscene inequalities are as inherent in the use of green technologies as in that of the fossil fuels they are meant to replace. The notion that the world economy is undergoing a green transformation is based on the illusion that renewable energy is replacing, rather than just adding to, fossil energy consumption. To move beyond this impasse, we must recognize that technologies are fetishized social relations and that money systematically obscures the material injustices on which modern civilization is based.
