When ‘new’ communication meets even newer energy systems, a green economic revolution is inevitable.

Our Industrial civilization is at a crossroads. Oil and the other fossil fuel energies that make up the industrial way of life are sunsetting, and the technologies made from and propelled by these energies are antiquated. The entire industrial infrastructure built off of fossil fuels is aging and in disrepair. The result is that unemployment is rising to dangerous levels all over the world. Governments, businesses and consumers are awash in debt, and living standards are plummeting everywhere. A record 1 billion human beings—nearly one-seventh of the human race—face hunger and starvation.
