My idea has to do with technology and the environment. As everyone should know by now, air pollution is a serious problem in today's world. We've come to a critical point in history where humans are close to doing irreversible damage to our planet because of climate change.
In a utopian world, I assume there would be little to no fuel emissions used by transportation methods, reducing the severity of global warming. Major means of transportation, standard cars, semi-trucks, planes, boats, etc. would be all-electric.
This future is not far away as more and more commercial vehicles are becoming all-electric. So why wouldn't we go all out and produce planes and boats (major air polluters) the same way?
I would like to visualize a utopian world where fuel emissions by means of transportation are no more and possibly an alternate, dystopian world where they are at its peak.
