“Sto dicendo che la tecnologia verde potrebbe fare tutte queste cose buone, portando ricchezza ai tropici, offrendo opportunità economiche ai villaggi, riducendo il divario tra ricchi e poveri. Non sto dicendo che la tecnologia verde farà tutte queste cose buone. Potrebbe non è lo stesso di porterà. Per far sì che queste cose positive accadano, abbiamo bisogno non solo della nuova tecnologia, ma anche delle condizioni politiche ed economiche che offriranno alle persone di tutto il mondo la possibilità di usarle. Per far sì che queste cose accadano, abbiamo bisogno di una forte spinta dall'etica.”

— Freeman Dyson

Originale

I am saying that green technology could do all these good things, bringing wealth to the tropics, bringing economic opportunity to the villages, narrowing the gap between rich and poor. I am not saying that green technology will do all these good things. "Could" is not the same as "will". To make these good things happen, we need not only the new technology but the political and economic conditions that will give people all over the world a chance to use it. To make these things happen, we need a powerful push from ethics.

Progress In Religion (2000)
Contesto: Our grey technology of machines and computers will not disappear, but green technology will be moving ahead even faster. Green technology can be cleaner, more flexible and less wasteful, than our existing chemical industries. A great variety of manufactured objects could be grown instead of made. Green technology could supply human needs with far less damage to the natural environment. And green technology could be a great equalizer, bringing wealth to the tropical areas of the world which have most of the sunshine, most of the human population, and most of the poverty. I am saying that green technology could do all these good things, bringing wealth to the tropics, bringing economic opportunity to the villages, narrowing the gap between rich and poor. I am not saying that green technology will do all these good things. "Could" is not the same as "will". To make these good things happen, we need not only the new technology but the political and economic conditions that will give people all over the world a chance to use it. To make these things happen, we need a powerful push from ethics. We need a consensus of public opinion around the world that the existing gross inequalities in the distribution of wealth are intolerable. In reaching such a consensus, religions must play an essential role. Neither technology alone nor religion alone is powerful enough to bring social justice to human societies, but technology and religion working together might do the job.
