The third industrial revolution : how lateral power is transforming energy, the economy, and the world

"In this New York Times bestseller, the author takes us on a journey into a new economic era where hundreds of millions of people produce their own green energy in their homes, businesses, and factories and share it with each other on an 'energy Internet.' Rifkin's Third Industrial Revolution vision has been taken up by the European Union and China and endorsed by the United Nations. In this book, the author goes behind the scenes to meet the heads of state, global CEOs, social entrepreneurs, and NGO leaders who are pioneering the new economic paradigm."--Back cover.

  • "&Quot;We are undergoing a historical transformation in the way we create and disseminate energy. Together, Internet technology and the reality of renewable energy are creating a new type of electrical grid, one in which energy is stored and distributed on an individual basis. Soon, hundreds of millions of human beings will be generating their own green energy in their homes, offices and factories, and sharing it, just as they now create their own information and share it on the Internet. In just a few years, millions of buildings and even cities will become energy self-sufficient, signaling the end of our reliance on fossil fuels. This transformation is already underway in Europe, where author Jeremy Rifkin serves as EU advisor on a project that will revolutionize the continent's energy supply, with Asia to follow. We even see shades of it in Texas, Colorado, and California, where electrical companies will be laying down parts of the Smart Grid over the next several years. But it's not just about the promise of clean energy. Rather, this "Energy Internet" will fundamentally change every aspect of the way we work and live. It will foster continental markets and the creation of continental political unions to oversee new expansive commercial opportunities. It will signify the end of needless wars fought over energy sources, and the dawning of an era of true international cooperation. Finally, it offers the hope that we can get to a post-carbon era by mid century and avert catastrophic climate change. Here, Rifkin explains how the United States can embrace this ambitious vision of the future, end its decades-old crisis over foreign oil, and ensure its continued status as world power. He also paints an accessible, anecdotal picture of what our lives will look like in this new global order-if we can summon the political will to join it"--"

  • "Ce livre développe la thèse d'une troisième révolution industrielle - que l'auteur appelle de ses vœux -, un nouveau paradigme économique qui va ouvrir l'ère post-carbone, basée notamment sur l'observation que les grandes révolutions économiques ont lieu lorsque de nouvelles technologies de communication apparaissent en même temps que des nouveaux systèmes énergétiques (hier imprimerie, charbon ou ordinateur ; aujourd'hui Internet & les énergies renouvelables). La Seconde Révolution Industrielle se meurt donc. Dans un futur proche, les humains génèreront leur propre énergie verte, et la partageront, comme ils créent et partagent déjà leurs propres informations sur Internet. Cela va fondamentalement modifier tous les aspects de la façon dont nous travaillons, vivons et sommes gouvernés. Comme les première et deuxième révolutions industrielles ont donné naissance au capitalisme et au développement des marchés intérieurs ou aux Etats-nations, la troisième révolution industrielle verra des marchés continentaux, la création d'unions politiques continentales et des modèles économiques différents. Le défi est triple : La crise énergétique, le changement climatique, le développement durable. Ces défis seront relevés par un changement de la mondialisation à la "continentalisation". C'est-à-dire la fin d'une énergie divisée, pour une énergie distribuée."
