Energie, vervoer, werk, reizen en vakantie in 2040

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

By 2040, most of our energy will come from renewable sources such as solar, wind and hydropower.
We will continue to look at nuclear energy, and I hope that better solutions will be developed.
Fossil fuels will be largely phased out.
Most cars will be electric. This will lead to less air pollution and a quieter environment.
But I also hope that hydrogen will continue to be invested because in my opinion this is a better option.
Public transport will be further improved, with faster and more frequent connections. Trains and buses will often be electric.
Aviation will also become more sustainable, for example through the development of electric aircraft or the use of biofuels.
I hope that from time to time an affordable flight to, for example, the Canary Islands will remain one of the options.
Remote working will become more and more normal, giving people more freedom to choose their own working hours and location.
This will hopefully lead to fewer traffic jams.
Many tasks will be automated, allowing people to focus on creative and complex tasks.
Lifelong learning: Rapid technological developments will require people to keep up-skilling and learning new skills.
Travel and holidays will be more and more sustainable.

Utopia is important because it allows us to hope ... Let's imagine! it's spring and the small flowers, violets, pikelets, blueberries, worries..., decorate our gardens without pesticides, without fertilizer because the soil, well worked for years no longer needs all these artificial aids. And children, teenagers run into this garden. They are at peace, they are good because their parents have instilled in them the essential rules of life in society. And the school has trained them by teaching them, not, ready-made formulas that it is enough to know by heart, no, by giving them the opportunity to train in everyday life with the help of the oldest who share their knowledge. And on their plates, at meals, they eat vegetables grown near their homes by responsible farmers. No more ready-made dishes bought in the super markets, almost all of which have disappeared or, at the very least, have changed the way they sell... Utopia!!

Autonom fahren
I would love to be able to drive autonomously. This would be especially important for older people from the country, as there are often no shops and doctors there anymore. So you can participate in life even with physical or mental limitations. In addition, the traffic is unraveling, there are fewer traffic jams, the traffic is more fluid and there are fewer accidents.

I want a united Europe, not wars or wars. The gap between rich and poor should be very close. There would have to be enough living space, whether for rent or property. Politicians should not only look four years into the future and block everything beforehand. More attention should be paid to the environment, renewable energies, stable prices. Enough doctors and hospitals.

Self-sufficiency. national self-sufficiency in electricity production (preferably from renewable sources), crop cultivation and food production. Efficient and environmentally friendly management of arable land and water. Reducing livestock production and increasing plant production without pesticides and chemicals that damage groundwater and drinking water. Equal wage levels across sectors across Europe. The same salary for teachers in Germany as in the Czech Republic. The same pay for workers on the line in a car parts factory in France as in Slovakia. The same subsidies from the common European treasury for farmers who grow safe crops in Austria as in Poland. Stop subsidizing farmers for not sowing and harvesting crops, but just cutting grass in otherwise fertile fields. Self-sufficiency of households - the production of own electricity, the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, the breeding of animals for meat, eggs, milk, wool and the like. Exchange and sale of raw materials and products between neighbors on markets, between regions at larger exhibitions and between countries using import and export companies. To make us all healthier, happier and live in abundance and in harmony with nature.
