Conclusion

The research showed that today's dominant energy model remains the centralized, large-scale energy production approach that is focused on satisfying increasing demand in an efficient fashion. The research also showed that the move is on to decentralized energy production through smaller production facilities and so-called micro-systems that supplement and even replace traditional sources of energy. Taken together, it is reasonable to conclude that the successor to today's large-scale centralized energy production will be decentralized, downsized alternatives that are designed to meet peak demands in a more efficient ways.

The wealth can then indeed be seen as the reward for effort, rather than wealth as a result of

Microgeneration refers to small-scale, decentralized energy production systems that generate electricity or heat from renewable sources or waste resources ("Microgeneration," 2021). These systems are typically installed in homes, businesses, or community spaces and can significantly reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuel-based energy sources. Benefits of Microgeneration Microgeneration offers numerous environmental, economic, and social benefits: Reduced Carbon Emissions: Microgeneration systems utilize renewable resources such as solar and wind, which do not emit greenhouse
