There are now fusion generators that can really be used as power plants. Yamp! This solves the problem of increasing energy demand in the world. Electricity has now become cheap. There is a boom in the recycling industry, as energy-intensive processes have suddenly become economical.

Today is July 13, 2040 and after so many years of work, I finally retired! I decided that I would take a tour of the city and since, unlike a few decades ago, even if we are in the middle of summer there are only 28 degrees I will ride a bike between one park and another following at least part of the longest cycle path in Europe. I will stop without a doubt to look at the wind farm installed on top of Montestella, also because the neighbor passes there are a couple of those ice cream shops of the people where pistachio ice cream is offered to the lords of my age.

We celebrate 2040 by listening to our welcome speech by the President of the European Union. The speech remembers how the European Union grew, how it counterbalanced other demotritic and autocratic states, and how powerful the EU became when, as early as 2025, countries agreed to sacrifice part of their sovereignty by handing over the most important tools of governance to the EU, the fuel we could call the European Federation. There are no more divisions, contradictions and endless discussions on the most important issues of their citizens on economic, financial, educational, defence, diplomatic or other issues. The EU has systematised the verybes that guide every country within its autonimia. By working together, we have achieved incredible results in the field of science, which has led to a significant increase in the gross domestic product, both at the level of the whole federation and by each member individually. The cultural life of all of us has become richer, more diverse and more mature. In this year, 2040, the EU set a new goal to expand its space program and achieve a breakthrough by colonizing suitable but uninhabited planets. Not all EU citizens continued to listen to the welcome speech, but the absolute majority was happy and proud of the opportunity to live in the most friendly democratic (without irony) federation.

I would like to see a future where public transportation is not an issue to get where you want public transportation should also be free. There are houses for everyone even when you get older with conveniences to stay independent as long as possible. The environment becomes greener and greener by residents are common vegetable gardens and everywhere are trees that have fruit and nuts so you can just pick something there is much less imported from abroad because we grow our own vegetables. This is distributed fairly.
