Yes, you're right. We won't just have new and more energy, but that energy will be controlled on an increasingly individual (decentralized) scale. I think there will be some control - but just not as centralized as our current infrastructure. The current transition is already happening. It is emergent in the same way the Internet was emergent in the 1980s and early 1990s. But it hasn't reached that critical mass and diffusion yet like the Internet did from 1995-2005. Soon it will. And then we will get the institutional change we want and need. EDIT: Energy is everything. The rest is detail.
