In the face of accelerating climate change, anticapitalist environmental justice activists and elite tech corporations increasingly see eye-to-eye. Both envision solar-powered futures where renewable energy redresses gentrification, systemic racism, and underemployment. However, as Lennon argues, solar power is no less likely to exploit marginalized communities than dirtier forms of energy.
