The Bright Green Trap We've All Fallen Into
Picture a world where solar panels glisten on every rooftop, wind turbines spin gracefully across hillsides, and electric cars glide silently through our streets. This is the future we've been sold-a technological salvation that promises to rescue us from climate catastrophe without requiring us to change much at all. It's a seductive vision, one that appears in glossy advertisements, political speeches, and even children's textbooks. But what if this entire narrative is a carefully constructed illusion? What if our obsession with alternative energy is actually preventing us from addressing the real problem? When researchers ask people to visualize the future of energy, they invariably create collages of wind turbines and solar arrays-never images of smaller homes, walkable neighborhoods, or people simply consuming less. This reveals something profound about our collective imagination: we've been trained to see salvation in production rather than transformation in consumption.
