Bright Green Lies
“Bright Green Lies” boldly challenges the myth of eco-friendly technology in a startling exposé, uncovering the deceptions and wishful thinking behind the belief that solar power, wind energy, electric vehicles, or green consumer habits can rescue the planet. Nearly every prominent environmental group advocates for what they call renewable energy. However, the assertions about these “green” technologies are often misleading. Terms like “clean,” “free,” “safe,” and “sustainable” are frequently used. Yet, solar panels and wind turbines don’t appear naturally. The large-scale production of these technologies demands more mining, industrial manufacturing, habitat destruction, significant greenhouse gas emissions, and the generation of toxic waste. These so-called renewable energies fail to fulfill their fundamental promise of reducing fossil fuel use. Globally, this energy merely adds to the existing consumption.
