The discussions around the unsustainability of the dominant socio-economic structures have yet to produce solutions to address the escalating problems we face as a species. Such discussions, this paper argues, are hindered by the limited scope of the proposed solutions within a business-as-usual context as well as by the underlying technological rationale upon which these solutions are developed. In this paper, we conceptualize a radical sustainable alternative to the energy conundrum based on an emerging mode of production and a commons-based political economy. We propose a commons-oriented Energy Internet as a potential system for energy production and consumption, which may be better suited to tackle the current issues society faces. We conclude by referring to some of the challenges that the implementation of such a proposal would entail.
围绕占主导地位的社会经济结构不可持续的讨论尚未产生解决我们作为一个物种所面临的不断升级问题的方案。本文认为，此类讨论受到了在照常营业背景下所提解决方案范围有限以及这些解决方案所基于的潜在技术原理的阻碍。在本文中，我们基于一种新兴的生产模式和基于公地的政治经济学，构想了一种针对能源难题的激进可持续替代方案。我们提出一个以公地为导向的能源互联网，作为一种潜在的能源生产和消费系统，它可能更适合应对社会当前面临的问题。最后，我们提及了实施这一方案将带来的一些挑战。
