The Third Industrial Revolution
Publisher Summary The book of Woodrow W. Clark and Grant Cooke, MJ, explores that the countries, states, regions, and communities of all kinds must eliminate their dependence on fossil fuels, stop their renewed focus on nuclear power. It should reverse the pace of environmental degradation. To do so, communities must embrace the reality of smart grids, emerging storage technologies, and renewable energy generation. The book also depicts that the nations must take these actions now to create and implement the Third Industrial Revolution (3IR) for themselves. They need to reduce the energy dependency on the Middle East, a geopolitical region whose instability constantly threatens national security and keeps nations from focusing on crucial domestic issues such as health care, financial reform, and innovation, as well as the planetary environmental crisis. According to the writer—since the Great Depression of the 1930s—the world is battling the most severe economic turndown on an economic front. Nationwide, states are reeling with the loss of tax and real estate development revenue.
