What will trigger the next Industrial Revolution?

In the middle of the 18th century Europe faced an acute shortage of wood (the primary energy source), and as a consequence, an energy crisis.
This compelled them to begin to dig coal out of the ground.
The mines (particular in England) would fill with water, and the steam engine was invented to drive pumps that were used to remove water from the mines.
Thus was born the Industrial Revolution.
