ReplyDelete1) Bacteria placed in human digestion that makes cellulose and edible form of food. Roughage/Fiber/Carbs/some protein
2) Fusion power and battery developments that make fossil fuels a thing of the past..use of fossil fuels is for diesel(for the current version of tanks) and lubes...fusion more powerful than solar...more dependable....solar is a second place power source as are tidal based turbines...wind farms here and there but mostly not used.
also high connectivity power lines...make generation and transmission very easy and very far apart.
