I have no problem with this. The only question it leaves open, which
Wolfe's note doesn't help with, is in what _sense_ "Green is Urth." I
suppose the electrical joke is possible, but I would set it aside as a
bonus; he clearly means something about the text.

One possibility: "Green is what Urth will become if..."
