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!

After graduation I decided to stay here at my home, I remember very well when my parents were forced to choose between a better quality of life, and the most dear affections such as family and roots. Today fortunately it is no longer so, I can safely decide to carry out my profession in any European state and receive the same salary, but above all to be sure that the quality of my life will be the same everywhere. My technical knowledge is equally recognized, and the chances of making a career (while still wanting to start a family) are the same, I just have to decide if I want to stay here or start a new adventure. When I talk about it with mine, I see their eyes become shiny, because they know that anyway I will be happy and I will not have remorse not having to accept compromises. Today I witness many acquaintances who (even if in the last years of work) return to where they were born, will retire and will be serene. It's great to be able to decide: If you're a traveler and you don't have to become one.

Srečna in svobodna Evropa v prihodnost
In 2040, Europe was developed sustainably, using only environmentally friendly energy sources for electricity production, which are, of course, renewable. Most houses are equipped with a smart management system that optimises the use of energy as much as possible. The air is clean, we have stopped global warming, man is brother to man racism and we have eradicated discrimination

Zukunt für alle
I wish that by then we had managed to save , our planet. Clean, efficient energy is available indefinitely, but there are better alternatives than huge wind turbines that eat the ground. Housing is affordable for everyone and a fundamental right. Everyone has to do their part. There are no more social smears. Public transport, of any kind, is free of charge.
