There's probably a nugget of truth in there, but mostly by sheer luck.

The future? Follow the money. If'n'when it's cheaper, it wins.

Right now, solar is the cheapest, and still getting cheaper at 3% per year. It's going to win, we're just arguing about when.
Right now, lithium-ion is the practical champ -- but it's expensive, and not all that easy to work with. Several different solid state battery options are being touted, some of which have a 1 minute charge time. Think that would ease range anxiety a bit?
Right now everyone has their car, because that's what they want. It's always there, there are very reasonably priced options. You really think your wife is going to get into some public conveyance smelling like a subway on Sunday morning to go to church? Not happening, not ever. Owning a car, especially if it's even cheaper than it is now, will remain the standard.
Medicine, right now, is consuming 20% of our GDP. That simply is too far out of whack, and telehealth and other computer driven protocols will have a huge influence. Realistically, docs are bound hand and foot by rules, from insurance, from "standard of care", from government.
Law -- nobody cares if a bunch of lawyers lose their jobs. Until they need one.
Autonomous cars will rule. Send the car to pick little Johnny up from school and take him to soccer practice, and then home, and little Jane to piano practice. Mommy can stay on the porch drinking gin-and-tonics with her bridge club. The biggest problem will be increased urban sprawl: a two hour commute is not as big a deal when you can crawl in your bed and sleep on the way to and from work. Go to hunting camp? The truck drives while you sleep comfortably in the bed in the back.

Throughout history technological advancement has changed life as we know it or knew it. Technology is advancing exponentially and has been for some time. It will continue to increase in the future. Things that seem impossible will become possible and even common. I have no problem with electric vehicles and wind or solar power. I do have a problem with government legislating we accept and adopt these things before the technology exists to make them cost effective. I dont think technology will advance to the point we can ski through a keyhole.

If the government was legislating green edicts for the good of the planet, for the good of the people...I wouldn't be so hostile to the green movement. But, the reality is every single goddam time, when you drill down into one of these government green edicts, you find politicians who are deeply pre-invested and set to benefit. Pelosi and gang for instance, Newsom and the railroad to nowhere, Harry Reid ass deep in solar farms, basically Chinese shadow companies. It just goes on and on. After all, we have the best government money can buy.

Literally gayer'n aids.

Electricity will not get cheaper

That's your fantasy, not mine....

Go take a nap in your Jetsons tube.

You describe more and more a workers paradise.


Unless you plan on getting rid of half the worlds population......these ideas where we replace everyone with robots and self driving cars are ludicrous.
