@HI_Greens That being said, this technology will significantly reduce wars for oil and gas, as once the turbines are bought they will be in use for decades. However, this cannot last. Capitalism uses every means available to make their products consumable, requiring constant fresh purchases.

Later down the thread you say capitalism is patriarchy. If that is combined with this desire for matriarchy, then it follows that the abolition of capitalism is desired. Since capitalism depends on the exchange of labour power as a commodity, this demand must retain capitalism, albeit in a friendlier form.
This friendlier form wears the phrase "well-paid". This is a gauge on the rate of exploitation. Therefore, exploitation must still exist unless the workers had the dominant voice in the distribution of surplus product. At that point, labour power will be decommodified and "well-paid" will cease to mean anything.
However, the green party will be elected to a position in a government, where they will hire capitalist companies to perform labour on these turbines. The manufacturing of wind turbines will made with the cheapest possible labour, and local capitalist governments are bound to the world market. Capital as a whole aims to reduce the value of labour power as much as possible, and its means include force. Not only that, but capital aims to scale up, meaning short-term extraction must increase over time insofar as capital remains a social force.
