Affordable and abundant energy to run our cities, homes, and businesses. This alone could have a cascading effect on all aspects of life.

I wake up at 7am ready to start my day, my blinds open letting in the sun, i see the blue sky and smell the coffee coming in from my kitchen. It's quite different from the 2020's loud smoggy filled days when i felt like a cog in the system, working with no passion or purpose. How far we have come from the turmoil of those years. My home feels like an extension of my life, helping me get started, quick call to my kids to see how they are doing, then out the door to a waiting car. i climb in, I'm greeted with a friendly voice, no one is there but I'm used to it. I'm dropped off to the train station which takes me straight to my work. I love my job; the human interaction and energy and vibe is so refreshing. I look out my office window and green spaces fill the top of buildings, while parks are as prevalent as Starbuck use to be. We have moved from fossil fuels, fusion revolutionized life, borders are now lines on a map rather than restrictive barriers for trade and human migration. Life new is about living and encouraging our diversity, exploring our moon and planets and not about running after a penny or trying to make ends meet. people and attitudes changed, education focuses on science, math, engineering not on financial markets. how far we have come!

In the future I see my graduated daughter working in what she likes.I see my now adult son working as an electronic technician. I see the mental health of our boys so strong and so fragile at the same time put in the first place where the school leaves no one behind, where the professors make you love their subjects or at least be curious about them. Where people who have escaped wars now far away are in Italy or other host countries "at home" without feeling different, inferior or unwilling. The whole world and all its governments have understood the importance of maintaining and taking care of nature and its animals. The wonderful world we live in.

Europe needs peace and adaptation to the needs of our times. This means dealing with threats to democracy and, above all, actually complying with it. Social protection should be provided to citizens. This entails stopping the promotion of the so-called , Green Deal, which is leading to the impoverishment of society and the collapse of agriculture and the economy in Europe. Citizens expect solutions from Europe, and their anger stems from not seeing them. It is necessary to return to a model of Europe based on the full sovereignty of the Member States, which are self-determining about their citizens and their economy. This is guaranteed by the Conservative government, which will also ensure the deportation of illegal immigrants. Why do we need a European Union that, according to sick climate ideas, oppresses its citizens with idiotic ETS-type taxes. I hope that such an EU will go into the past and will only be a former bad dream of imaginary pseudo-democrats.

The prediction of the future is always risky. Even the prophets of the Bible did not speak far ahead, but judged the realities they saw and predicted the future precisely because of their discernment. There are 25 years left until 2040. Undoubtedly - technical progress (provided that we do not destroy, there will be no crazy and warlike neighbors left). The most important thing is the relationship between people. I don't dream of communicating with thoughts or thanks to implanted devices. I hope that in 25 years, people will remain, or perhaps become, empathetic to those around them and to the environment - living and non-living nature. They will stop devastating nature, wisely manage and use resources, perhaps they will control the unbridled desire for wealth and power, and democracy will take more sustainable and humane forms. And I'm hoping for smarter rather than dumber fellow citizens who won't run to hide when they see a flying passenger plane that leaves a "tail" of smoke and doesn't burn 5G towers... I hope for a reasonable breakthrough in the preservation and maintenance of health, keeping the criterion of reasonableness and not resorting to experiments that go beyond the limits of humanity and reason. Nature (or perhaps the Creator) draws new surprises in all areas. With the advancement of medicine, bigger and more complex challenges and ugly diseases appear (or are discovered). I said it! It's expropriating.

Social Interactions
In 2040, I hope that day to day life will not have changed too much from what it is now. I feel in the previous 15 years technology has leaped forward, sometimes for the better but not always. I hope that we continue to have more personal interactions and meet socially more often. While I feel it is great that we can contact anyone in the world quickly and effectively with mobile phones, messaging apps and video calling, I feel that we are losing that face to face interaction because everyone is glued to their phones and sometimes are missing life passing them by.
