Probably it will be very different - it is very likely that we will use way more electricity (for instance electric cars), but hopefully most of it will be produced by solar/wind energy without huge impact to CO2 emissions. And with less CO2 emissions I hope climate change will be less of an issue to the world.

It is 2040, 15 years have passed since the German federal election, 16 since the Austrian one. The increasingly noticeable shift to the right has been reversed, the AFD and FPÖ have lost a massive amount of support. Racism throughout Europe and worldwide has decreased, the social gap has closed again, care and the healthcare system are running smoothly and poverty in old age is hardly an issue anymore. As a result, people are once again more peaceful, friendly and generous towards one another.

Dass Frieden auf der Welt herrscht. Dass fängt schon auf der Straße an, dass jeder jeden Menschen mit Respekt behandelt. Dass es keine Kriege gibt unter den Völkern. Das wir den Klimawandel in den Griff bekommen und nicht mehr soviel durch Hitze, Trockenheit und Überschwemmungen zerstört wird. Dass die Wirtschaft auf einem guten Weg ist, dass alle Menschen gute Arbeit haben und dass sie sich auch alles leisten können und die Preise nicht ins bodenlose Steigen.

I want a future where technology and ecology are developed. I want cars to be zero-emission, I want electric vehicles, I want homes to be comfortable and efficient, and I want them to help reduce resource consumption. I want to see health care advance and thus extend people's life expectancy.
