The "green" tech scam must be exposed
"The much-needed re-politicization of environmental problems as advocated by political ecology in general, and degrowth in particular, needs to be accompanied by the simultaneous re-politicization of technological issues. The assumption that technological fixes are the only possible response to social and ecological issues trumps the possibility for developing more emancipatory political ecologies of technology."
