“The Third Industrial Revolution distributed energy model gives new protagonism to the local authorities because brings the energy plants in their range. No local authorities could have become a player in the second industrial revolution model based on sources like coal, uranium, oil. But every one local authority can be a player today, with solar technologies, energy conservation, hydrogen and smart grids based strategies”.

Angelo Consoli
