He wasn’t quoting fictional worlds as evidence of what sorts of green technology were plausible developments, which I agree would be wrong.
Instead he was citing them as Greens who supported technical civilization, or at least sent that message, whether or not they believed so. This seems perfectly reasonable to do, though of course not strong evidence that the green movement as a whole feels that way.
