Here, Jeremy Rifkin explores how Internet technology and renewable energy are merging to create a powerful Third Industrial Revolution.
He asks us to imagine hundreds of millions of people producing their own green energy in their homes, offices, and factories, and sharing it with each other in an energy internet, just like we now create and share information online.
Rifkin describes how the five-pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution will create thousands of businesses, millions of jobs, and usher in a fundamental reordering of human relationships, from hierarchical to lateral power, that will impact the way we conduct commerce, govern society, educate our children, and engage in civic life. Rifkin's vision is already gaining traction in the international community.

Rifkin places the blame for our recent economic meltdown squarely on oil, arguing that increased demand especially from China has driven up costs beyond what the world economy can absorb.
He predicts continued economic shocks until the world wises up and starts putting solar panels on every building in the land. Progressive, Prius driving people I'd love a Prius will be sympathetic to these arguments. Who is against solar panels on every roof? Who does not like a smart grid? Who loves big oil? The problem is that Rifkin is an evangelist, and is unable to evaluate counter-arguments or diverse perspectives. The move away from carbon based fuels is probably an issue of when and not if.
But will this change happen as quickly as Rifkin predicts? I'd like to hear the arguments on both sides. Jeremy Rifkin would be a great speaker to bring to campus.
I think that he would do a terrific job of engaging our students, and challenging them to do their part in constructing a Third Industrial Revolution.
Just don't make the mistake of passing his book out before he arrives on campus. This is an important book. Although the price of energy has gone up fast in the past this book suggests that the price will go up really fast and high in the nest 40 years. That will make solar and wind as well as geothermal, garbage, and hydro ready to offer a cheaper and high employment type of energy.
