A wind turbine being fed into a meat grinder, with oil/petroleum gushing out the other end. This captures the grotesque transformation of clean energy into fossil fuel investment — the policy literally converts wind power into oil money. The mechanical inevitability of the grinder conveys the systematic, industrial nature of the rollback.
This story offers the strongest visual metaphor potential and broadest international relevance — the deliberate dismantling of renewable energy in favor of fossil fuels is universally understood and lends itself to a single powerful image. The absurdist quality of paying companies NOT to build clean energy is inherently satirical and visually striking.
