A desert energy company that plants specially-bred cacti with embedded bio-electrodes, turning arid land into living power plants.

The Wow Moment
You're at a remote desert clinic where power has always been unreliable—generators fail, solar panels need maintenance. But outside, rows of cacti glow softly at night from embedded LED indicators showing they're actively generating electricity. The doctor tells you these cacti have powered the entire clinic for 6 months without a single outage, through sandstorms and 115°F days. The cacti just... work. You touch one and it's alive, generating real power from sunlight and minimal water, almost impossibly.

You install the browser extension and suddenly see glowing red strings attached to everything you click - the infinite scroll that's not so infinite, the 'only 2 left!' urgency that's fake, the 'friends who bought this' that's algorithmically chosen to trigger your FOMO. You realize you've been a puppet. Then you click one button and the strings dissolve.
