“…According to Rifkin, changes, which can be conceived as an industrial revolution, have taken place when the methods of energy generation and communication have changed. Now the internet and the use of renewable energy form the basis of the quality change, the third industrial revolution, in which collectivised production and consumption are pursued using smart electricity networks, in the form of some sort of energy communism (Katona, 2013). The theatre of this grandiose experiment is the European Union, where there are five programme points for building the future: 1) use of renewable energy; 2) implementation of local, distributed energy generation; 3) provision of solutions to electricity storage by starting to use hydrogen energy and other methods; 4) establishment of smart electricity networks, creating a kind of energy internet, in which everyone is both generator and consumer (producer + consumer = prosumer) at the same time; 5) conversion of transport to electric and fuel-cell drive.…”
