Distributed energy generation is the true energy revolution.
It is an unstoppable process, no matter how governments and large electricity companies strive to maintain a centralized and obsolete energy matrix.
Are we completing the Third Humanity Development Wave?
Probably yes.
Alvin Toffler calls First Wave the one that arose with agricultural revolution (from year 8000 BC until XVII century).
Hunting and fishing stage is overcome, and agriculture is born; emerging new structures such as commerce and first villages.
Second Wave emerges during XIX century, with Industrial Revolution in which steam engine and printing press replaced manual labor.
Huge urban centers form; mass production concept is born; physical transport are intensified thanks to railroad, car and steamboat; natural resources begin to exploit as energy or raw material source; producer and consumer concepts are born.
Third Wave encompasses changes that world is living in last 50 years, which break paradigms that Second Wave imposed on us.
This Wave is at its peak and we surf more and more on it disarticulating structures through decentralization, demassification and personalization.
In Sopelia, we firmly believe that citizen empowerment through distributed generation is the means to achieve energy sovereignty at individual and national levels.
That is why we want to share this article published in a Spanish newspaper last Sunday, July 9th.
It puts name and surname to protagonists of a situation that until recently would have seemed to us of science fiction and that hopefully is more and more habitual.
In Germany Also Electricity Can Be Sharing.
All you need is Sun. All you need is Sopelia.
