Normally I am quite pessimistic about certain paths. Random little spikes of optimism seem to sprout through on a continual basis though. Various topics poke through the clouds of dark. Sometimes I am motivated by stories of human spirit. Sometimes I am happier with an achievement or maybe just me that day. At times I can get excited over performance at my job. And then there is the whole universal potential thing - since I don't believe in fate and since everything in the universe is causal then the potential is damn near infinite as there are no things that aren't bound by rules and thus unable to be manipulated.

Solar Power makes me happy. Does it make you happy? It should. First off, it will power your existence. I have commented a
couple of
times in the past and I do think that we will become individual energy creators. It seems to obvious that everything will move away from centralized production to individual production as we become more able with technologies. Even complicated items will become localized as we create better
fabricators and transfer of IP becomes more secure and efficient. The USA has begun the slow move away from general manufacturing because of the high costs. The small business factory world is gaining huge ground as our quality on the lower volume level is high enough and efficient enough to compete with the world.
42%+ is a good number. Energy from the sun. Machines that use it cleanly. A society that creates so much more because its focus is moved from the support of itself to the furtherance of thought. Individuals may have been able to progress beyond
Maslow's hierarchy of needs - but I don't imagine any societies have just yet (except maybe some of those Norwegian countries...but that is another day).
