Français : Les centres de production centralisés (y compris éoliens et solaires) sont nécessaires dans la phase de transition vers la Troisième révolution industrielle, mais pourront, selon Rifkin, être ensuite remplacés par des bâtiments et infrastructures qui produiront l'énergie au plus près de son lieu de consommation.
Español: Planta de energía solar de la Base Nellis de la Fuerza Aérea, al noreste de Las Vegas, Nevada, Estados Unidos. Esta planta de energía ocupa 140 acres, contiene alrededor de 70,000 paneles solares, y genera 14 megavatios de energía solar para la base. Los grandes centros de producción de energía como este (tanto de energía eólica como solar) son necesarios en la fase de transición hacia la Tercera revolución industrial, aunque según Rifkin, posteriormente podrán ser remplazados en forma paulatina por edificaciones e infraestructuras que puedan producir y almacenar energía más cerca de los lugares de consumo.
