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?

I decided that the explicitness she wants means giving up conciseness so, what about the following variations?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Other Steps on the Path is long. Can you go with Averting? I'm also not too sure about the subtitle.
