Welcome to the Third Industrial Revolution!

What is the Third Industrial Revolution?

In a Nutshell: The Third Industrial Revolution is a distributed energy revolution as well as an economic game plan. There are 4 pillars upon which the Third Industrial Revolution is based upon: 1) Renewable Energy, 2) Buildings as Positive Power Plants, 3) Hydrogen storage, and 4) Smartgrids and Plug-in Vehicles.

The Third Industrial Revolution


"We have the science and technology to do it, but it will mean nothing unless there is a change in will." — Jeremy Rifkin

We are on the cusp of a Third Industrial Revolution that could give us a door open to a new post-fossil fuel era. It was the first Industrial Revolution that brought together print and literacy with coal steam and rail. The second combined the telegraph and telephone with the internal combustion engine and oil. What we now have now is the possibility of a distributed energy revolution. We can all create our own energy, store it, and then distribute it to each other. Twenty five years from now millions of buildings will become power plants that will load renewable energy. We will load solar power from the sun, wind from turbines and even ocean waves on each coast. We can also make the power grid of the world smart and intelligent; we call it inter-grid. Not far from now, millions and millions of people will load power to buildings, store it in the form of hydrogen and distribute energy peer-to-peer; just like digital media and the internet. The first inter-grids are going up in the United States this year in Houston, Boulder Colorado, and Southern California. Learn More...

What are the four pillars?
Pillar 1: Renewable Energy
Pillar 2: Buildings as Positive Power Plants
Pillar 3: Hydrogen Storage
Pillar 4: Smartgrids and Plug-in Vehicles

Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment

The link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues.

The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature.
