While people usually focus on carbon neutrality, I often think decentralization is renewables’ most underappreciated aspect. Everything it touches can happen at the home and community level. The Haber-Bosch process is the epitome of the 20th century large scale heavy industry model. Now here is a solution replacing it at the level of individual farms.
I suspect much of robotics will be decentralized too, and with that, they may decentralize automated manufacturing. In a few decades, it may seem quaint that people shipped so many things halfway around the world.
For sure, especially these decentrale solutions work for places with limited to no access to a lot of resources now. Very interested where a lot technological leapfrogging will take place
