Kids today (so-called millennials) will remember fondly the “good ol’ days” of their high-school years (2010-2019) when they could get a burger for only $10; and they had to put this stuff called “gasoline” into their car to make it go. These long-obsolete cars only got them 20-30 miles per gallon and cost $4 or so — working out to $0.15 per mile, give or take.
In 30 years (2045), just about everything including transportation will be powered by electricity generated primarily from renewable sources for pennies per megawatt hour.
At that point, most of the Baby Boomers will have died off and our healthcare system will have imploded and transformed into more of a self-directed system based more on health than sickness. (Hey, we can always hope!)
