Peer to Peer energy production and the social conflicts in the era of “green

Since the direct production process is the one that defines distribution,
the single most important innate advantage of P2P production is that it
ensures, on a long term and on a stable basis, a fairer and more equal
distribution of wealth. In distributed production, argues George
Papanikolaou, the largest part of the energy produced is intended for
individual consumption, limiting the field of the market to exchanges of
energy. A network that allows, without the mandatory intervention of a third
party, the reversal of energy flows between peers, delimitates even more the
sphere of the market and the official monetary circulation.
