Daniel Pinchbeck:

"In The [[Third Industrial Revolution]], economic and social theorist Jeremy Rifkin promotes an optimistic alternative. 

The revolution is based on: 

(1) shifting to renewable energy; 

(2) transforming the building stock of every continent into green micro–power plants to collect renewable energies on-site; 

(3) deploying hydrogen and other storage technologies in every building and throughout the infrastructure to store intermittent energies; 

(4) using Internet technology to transform the power grid of every continent into an energy internet that acts just like the Internet (when millions of buildings are generating a small amount of renewable energy locally, on-site, they can sell surplus green electricity back to the grid and share it with their continental neighbors); and 

(5) transitioning the transport fleet to electric plug-in and fuel cell vehicles that can buy and sell green electricity on a smart, continental, interactive power grid."
