How to Start the Energy Transformation

The reader, richer in the knowledge gained from the first two parts of this book, certainly must already have some idea about climate change and its causes and is aware that these changes are possible to stop only when humanity begins to harmoniously use both technological achievements and learns how to change their habits. Only this approach guarantees our success and survival as mankind in the coming centuries. An indispensable element of a developing society is the need to produce and then consume energy. This process has continued since the beginning of the industrial revolution that took place in the eighteenth century in England and Scotland. During this period, mankind began the process of transition from agricultural production and manufactory or artisan production to mainly mechanical factory production on a large scale. Over the years, as society, we are getting increasingly focused on the consumption of our products. Electricity consumption in households has increased several times over the last 20 years. The methods of energy production, however, have remained unchanged for years. It was only the present situation that made us look at the energy sector differently and move towards renewable energy sources. Based on their experience, the authors want to indicate the potential direction of the energy transformation, which, if properly implemented, should bring the expected results, both climatic and socio-economic.
