Energie, vervoer, werk, reizen en vakantie in 2040

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040 zal het grootste deel van onze energie afkomstig zijn van duurzame bronnen zoals zonne-energie, windenergie en waterkracht.
Men zal toch ook naar kernenergie blijven kijken, ik hoop dat daar betere oplossingen voor ontwikkeld worden.
Fossiele brandstoffen zullen grotendeels zijn uitgefaseerd.
De meeste auto's zullen elektrisch zijn. Dit zal leiden tot minder luchtvervuiling en een stillere omgeving.
Maar ik hoop eigenlijk ook dat er toch ook in waterstof geïnvesteerd blijft worden omdat dit in mijn optiek een betere optie is.
Het openbaar vervoer zal verder worden verbeterd, met snellere en frequentere verbindingen. Treinen en bussen zullen vaak elektrisch zijn.
Ook de luchtvaart zal duurzamer worden, bijvoorbeeld door de ontwikkeling van elektrische vliegtuigen of het gebruik van biobrandstoffen.
Ik hoop dat daardoor af en toe een betaalbare vlucht naar bijvoorbeeld de Canarische eilanden tot de opties blijft behoren.
Werken op afstand zal steeds normaler worden, waardoor mensen meer vrijheid hebben om hun eigen werktijden en -locatie te kiezen.
Dit zal hopelijk tot minder files leiden.
Veel taken zullen worden geautomatiseerd, waardoor mensen zich kunnen richten op creatieve en complexe taken.
Levenslang leren: Door de snelle technologische ontwikkelingen zullen mensen zich voortdurend moeten bijscholen en nieuwe vaardigheden moeten leren.
Reizen en vakantie zullen steeds duurzamer zijn.

Unsere Hoffnung
There is no more war in Europe. The states have come to a good agreement and respect each other and their borders. All European states are part of the European Union and administer it jointly and amicably. There are no political or economic dependencies on other states. Agreements are effective here. Poverty and homelessness are exceptional cases. Everyone can get help. Migration is not a negative issue because people and their labor are welcome. However, people who have committed crimes are deported and have to return to their home country. Climate change continues to be a major issue, but work is being done worldwide to bring about change. Resources are being conserved and protected. Recycling is the norm.

Enfin libre
It's 7:30 a.m. the AI alarm clock comes on to give me the weather forecast, and also the traffic situation in the aerobuses. I get ready and head for the station, where I'll meet up with the regulars who live on the same community block. This weekend, weather permitting, I'll be able to spend two days away from the city in protected nature. I'm a middle manager in a company specializing in agronomy, we manage breeders and growers who work on very well-equipped farms. The world lives in peace and personal spirituality has replaced false religions. Politics, too, has been reduced and everything is run by assemblies of wise men aided by AI. There is no longer a dictatorial Europe, and everything is decided at local level by wise men who change every three years. All the lies of the former elites have been exposed and the protagonists heavily punished. Drugs have been almost totally eradicated, and specialized leisure centers offer even stronger sensations, but without danger or addiction. A great deal of attention is paid to children's education, and many harmful subjects are no longer taught. The death penalty has been reinstated for serious offences, and many judgments are handed down by the AI and upheld by sages.

Einigkeit macht stark
The Ukraine war and Trump's government have shaken the Europeans awake. Peace was imposed on Ukraine, Nato membership was prevented by the USA and admission to the EC was completed. The EC founded a joint army and stationed part of it in Ukraine. The bureaucracy was radically simplified, applications must be completed within 6 months at the latest. Great Britain is back in the EC. Decisions by the Council of Europe require 60 percent approval. The blockade attitude of individual states no longer exists.

Es wäre schön
It would be nice if viruses such as HIV and annoying pestilences such as cancer were considered eradicated in 2040. It would be nice if it were possible to determine at birth whether a child is likely to have serious illnesses that can then be eradicated immediately. It would be nice if inflation could be reduced to a minimum. It would be nice if religions no longer played a role. Because there are wars because of religion. Wars that can be prevented.
