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!

Senza futuro
You ask us to tell you about a day in 2040 when it's hard to look over a week. What can be imagined of the near future, projecting the current state of things? It's really complicated. I can hope that there will be a more compact European Community and that it will be less and less influenced by the United States. I can hope that Israel will be better off than it is now acting with atrocious violence against the Palestinians. Hope. Two thoughts on all, with certainty it will not be so. I see a catastrophic future and fear for my children.

I would like the future to be more restful than the period we are currently living in. I would like humanity to be more respectful of its environment but also of people. By 2040, all people would be aware of the environment. Degrowth would have started, but it would have had a positive impact on everyone. More consumption to excess, everyone would consume what is available in his country or close environment geographically.

It's 2040. Artificial intelligence, which has been properly regulated and implemented so that it really serves humanity, helps us in many aspects of life. However, it is prohibited in several areas, such as art and culture. its participation is allowed but only as a component part of a given work or cultural product. All people receive dividends from what is produced in the automation process. No one has to work to survive, because dividend money is enough for all basic needs and even more, but most people still work because it gives their lives meaning and raises their social status. Money, however, is no longer the main driver of action, it is precisely the status acquired by contributing to society. Humanity flew to Mars and further plans are underway to conquer space. Many new sources of energy have been discovered, so that coal is no longer an attractive raw material at all. Life expectancy has increased significantly and is increasing by several years each year, so everyone agrees that the prospect of colonizing other planets will become a necessity sooner rather than later.

Be Europos vėžio Rusijos
The Russian state has collapsed and no longer poses a threat to Europe. The Russians pay for the damage caused to Ukraine during the war. EU leaders have emerged who represent the EU well and are respected around the world, have a clear voice and significant influence. A unified NATO army has been established to ensure peace and security for all members. Putler is recognised as a war criminal and dies in prison. Only legal migrants enter the EU and there are no longer terrorist attacks and threats. The EU economy is growing, the number of educated people is increasing and climate change is being taken more seriously.
