Democratization of Solar Renewable Energy Adapted for the New Millennium
Humanity still lacks a sustainable, large-scale energy economy. Efforts to transition toward such a system focus on electrification, renewable electricity, energy flow management, efficiency improvements, and behavioral changes. However, these measures fail to address the critical challenge of producing sustainable fuels and materials, which is also a centralized, undemocratic process, relying on production and distribution networks controlled by a few large players. While this suits fossil fuel economies with concentrated resources, a renewable energy economy—especially solar—offers broadly distributed resources and should imply a broader spread of fuel and material production.
