of the current choices, I like Windmills not Weapons too although my instinct for titles is not all that...a few weeks ago, I just managed a "didn't hate it," from EQ. Keep the part after the semicolon short, if you can.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

I've been mulling a huge, complicated story for days, trying to plot the path to get to the climax of something I've been working on for years. And the idea finally popped in, the one that makes my eyes go big and the minor choir of angels let out a celestial chord. So I've written down the outline of it and will let it simmer for a few days to see if it will hold up, but I think, finally, the path is clear.
It's better than sex, honestly, because you can get sex more often than a good story epiphany.
Generally.

Glad to hear that the idea popped and that you have a good sex life.

Just going by your own comparison.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Windmills not Weapons has a nice ring, but you don't want to encourage a "tilting at windmills" reference. You don't want to imply that it's unrealistic to expect a large scale investment in green energy.
Hmmm. Not good at titles. From the War Machine to the Green Machine?
Or something about the next industrial revolution--get in a ref to greener industries and the idea that it will take a real revolution in how we address these issues?

Would Plowshares not Weapons work? Beating weapons into plowshares is an established image.
