In an article published in the Bangor Daily News, Mark W. Anderson discusses Ozzie Zehner's critique of conventional perceptions about environmentalists and clean energy. Zehner's perspective emphasizes the adverse consequences associated with what is often considered "clean energy." Zehner underscores that achieving a sustainable future demands more than a simple transition from fossil fuels to clean energy sources, describing this shift as illusory. Furthermore, Zehner asserts that the challenges related to energy are predominantly rooted in cultural factors rather than technological limitations.[4]
Writing in IEEE Spectrum, Zehner suggests that instead of solely focusing on measuring carbon dioxide emissions, it may be valuable to broaden our perspective. He proposes an examination of the benefits of electric cars in comparison to walkable neighborhoods and the trade-offs between increasing energy generation and the advantages of energy conservation. This perspective encourages a more comprehensive assessment of sustainable practices.[5]
Planet of the Humans, which Zehner was featured in and co-produced, has been criticized for its lack of factual accuracy.
