Green tech is advancing faster than ever, offering practical, scalable solutions that drastically cut emissions and reshape how societies produce energy. Breakthroughs such as perovskite tandem solar cells and direct air capture show how sustainable technology can now reduce emissions up to 80% more efficiently than the systems used just a decade ago. These tools, once experimental, are rapidly maturing into real-world climate solutions capable of lowering global dependency on fossil fuels.
Sustainable technology has also expanded into sectors like construction, agriculture, transportation, and food production—making it possible to store carbon as stone, fuel planes with clean hydrogen, and manage electricity systems using AI. The pace of innovation signals a crucial turning point. With proper investment, many of these technologies could help stabilize the climate before 2040 and support a long-term net-zero future.
This article sounds mostly like greenwashing and giving false hopes. They also clearly don’t know what they’re talking about. To me, the most obvious is when they speak about AI-powered grids balancing supply and demand in real time. I’m a researcher in energy management algorithms and that’s pure buzzword vomit without anything backing it up. Notice how short the paragraphs are and that there’s no references to real-world projects or scientific studies, just some random numbers thrown around.
aww, is the article ai-generated? It reads like it was written by ChatGPT.
The article is attributed to Glanze Patrick and if you click their name you’ll see a list of other articles they’ve written. I think it’s meant to be written in a generic tone so I can see why you would ask. I assume the author is human but who knows if they used something. It can definitely be hard to tell these days. I certainly hope not.
Lazy op being a bot.

I’m not a bot, I assure you. i’m a human that’s been on this instance for over 3 years that you’ve chosen to insult. What about the post was lazy? The condescending tone isn’t appreciated.
Posting a listed article without posting the list is extremely lazy. Not everyone wants to read through 5 paragraphs to get to a list of 10 paragraphs when 10 lines does the job.
Bear in mind that only 10% of the userbase of a platform like lemmy will post any content at all (most users are lurkers).
Considering the fairly low size of our userbase, I would put forward that anyone bothering to make a post is being far, far more involved and active than most (even if you believe the posts are not to your standards). I don’t believe attempting to to shame them for not also putting the contents of a link into the post itself will be productive towards fostering active communities.
I would consider a short summary written by an OP to be a nice bonus if they happen to be willing to go to that extra effort, but it is by no means a requirement to participate in a community (I think you would find it to have an extreme chilling effect if most users demanded such effort).
I would suggest if you find the title or preview text is not compelling enough to read the article, perhaps just move onto the next?
The 90-9-1 rule suggests this as well. I post rarely and comment frequently and that makes me a power iser
Listing bullet points from the article is something I consider to be very low-effort. I posted two paragraphs. People can read further if they are inclined.
